The thing is, if you are changing the CSS of where the text is uppercase and a smaller font size is applied (I like 0.8333em), then you do need to make sure the letters you want to appear as smallcaps are lowercase. So you do need the
text-transform: lowercase; Otherwise you won't have smallcaps. You will still have uppercase. If the text is lowercase to start with, then the text-transform won't do anything and
font-variant: small-caps; will still work.
Making the text lowercase is not defeating the purpose. It's allowing the text to be changed to smallcaps. Uppercase text does not become smallcaps using small-caps.
