It seems to me that the third case could easily be subsumed by first transforming the text by inserting a "change case" token in front of any character with a different case than the previous character. In such a representation the original text and the "caps-locked" text are indistinguishable.

And then when management decides they don't want this feature anymore, you're stuck with it.
