Dear Jai,
do you actually use capslock in the original way in some applications? - There might be a convenient way to map capslock for selected applications if you use tools like "Keyboard Maestro" (commercial). It is probably not possible to do within Emacs: if you press C-h k CAPSLOCK you do not get a key mapping (provided capslock is not mapped to some other modifier key) and - I think - this would be required for a mapping within Emacs (I might be wrong).
Warm regards,
Stefan

But this is a matter of taste to some degree, of course.
