In the string case conversion, it mentions the context sensitivity of Greek sigma: A small final sigma needs to be used when it is at the end of the word. However, there's no definition of "word", which can lead inconsistent behavior among implementations. We can refer to UAX #29, as R6RS does.

Sigma conversion has been made optional, but the reference to UAX 29 is in.
