I find very annoying the fact that when citing with the verbose-trad styles of 
BibLaTeX and it switches to latinitates like "Id." and "Ibid.", LaTeX can't get 
it to have the correct upper/lower case (I bet this is NOT a BibLaTeX issue, 
but a LaTeX problem):
- When citing at the beginning of a footnote, it puts them in lower case (so I 
have to manually switch "Force upper case" in the citation dialogue)
- When citing after a dot of a abbreviated word (I for instnace use a lot the 
abbreviation "cfr." ("confronta") just before the citation) it swithches to 
UPPER CASE!!!!! And this time I can't force it to use lower case: I tried with 
small, protected or inter-word space: no way, and as it does not exist the 
opposite of "End of sentence", I can't have it recognize the abbreviation...  

I bet this problem could come back in other cases, e.g. textual "<on page>" 
cross-references.

Is there a way to have this behave correctly?
