MattMC was, if I am not wrong, commenting about
Bentleymaniac's suggested solution using text-transform. He, MattMC, was correct when he said it wouldn't be a true smallcap. Even IF you could get that to work on ePUB2, which is still holding the day.
Not to wax poetic and all geezer-like, but there's an elegance to an actual smallcaps font variant that you simply don't get by squishing the full-size characters. This does not mean that we haven't all done it; gods know, I have, when I couldn't get a client to realize that the LookInside shouldn't be the driver for the layout, but...
yowch. I don't like
squishing.
