Sure, add this to your customization layer:
<xsl:template match="phrase[@role='caps']//text()">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')"/>
</xsl:template>
This template matches on any text nodes ( text() )
that are ancestors ( // ) of <phrase role="caps">.
It applies the XSL translate() function to
the current node's text. The translation converts
the lowercase letters to uppercase letters.
