You mean when you use multiple layouts and T3 is not the first one?  Because when T3 is the only or the first layout, any option (like swap capslock and ctrl) is applied after the layout itself.

Yes. I just checked, and you're right. Ha, I'm probably the first non-German to ever use the layout. Although, I've since switched to a US-based layout to type German letters. It still seems odd for it to do that, though. Is there any particular reason why the caps lock key would be manually bound to caps lock?

Yes, basically the reciprocal problem to yours:  When using de(T3) as secondary layout together with primary layout that maps the caps lock key differently, there would be no way to have it working as Caps Lock in de(T3) otherwise.  An example for such a primary layout that users of de(T3) might be using is de(adnw) and the like.

What people actually want to use in practise, I do not know.  My impression from googling is that despite being an official standard, there is nearly no interest in de(T3).   Maybe it will take a bit of time until this changes, and we get a better idea what users want.  Therefore, I suggest to leave this bug open and see if we get more feedback.
