Normalization and Standardization
The first release of OpenRegistry has basic standardization and normalization:
- Change capitalization of input: NONE, CAPITALIZE, UPPER, LOWER where capitalize is "intelligent" capitalization.
- First Name analysis: attempt to capitalize first names correctly with an override capability
- Last Name analysis: attempt to capitalize last names correctly with an override capability
All of this is configurable in WEB-INF/local-configuration/normalization.xml

The FirstName and LastName can take a customMapping property to map particular names.
