There's another option which I forgot about because I tend to prefer one of the others: compute the sort key in the body of xsl:sort:
>> <xsl:for-each select="term">
>> <xsl:sort>
>> <xsl:choose>
>> <xsl:when test="fr/@sort">
>> <xsl:value-of select="fr/@sort"/>
>> </xsl:when>
>> <xsl:otherwise>
>> <xsl:value-of select="(lower-case(substring(fr,1,1)))"/>
>> </xsl:otherwise>
>> </xsl:choose>
>> </xsl:sort>
