The problem here is not with \uppercase, but rather with the
(plain|La)TeX's rather anglo-centric view of the world. If you want
\oe \ss and friends to act like letters, they should be defined as
such. Of course this is much easier with TeX3. as even characters in
the top half of the font can be assigned uccode values.
No, they can't.
I'm using a UNIX box that understands Latin1, and have defined the top
half of the font appropriately. But even if a top-half character has been
assigned an lccode, uccode, and sfcode, it doesn't \uppercase.
