node-list-filter
(node-list-filter proc> nl>)
This procedure is defined in the DSSSL standard. Returns a
node-list containing just those members of nl
for which proc applied to a singleton node-list
containing just that member does not return #f.
The DSSSL standard (ISO/IEC 10179) implementation of
node-list-filter reverses the order of the
nodes passed to it. This altered version keeps the nodes in order.

small-caps
(small-caps children>)
This procedure is sets the glyph-subst-table
characteristic to a glyph table with glyphs for small caps letters in
place of the glyphs for lowercase letters. Jade's RTF backend, at least,
recognises those glyphs and outputs the correct information for the text
to be formatted as small caps.
