I personally have not responded on that ticket because I have no background in publishing or editing to know what the correct behavior is for converting to "title case". You assert that the current behavior is wrong, but to me it actually looks correct; I was hoping someone connected to publishing with more of a clue in this area than I would chime in, but four days has not been long enough for any such qualified people to have the time. Regardless of what is technically correct for title casing, I'd be leery of changing the existing title filter at this point. It seems like there may be people using it who expect the current behavior, and to suddenly change the behavior would be backwards-incompatible for them. So my inclination would be to close that ticket as wontfix based on the fact that: 1 - the existing behavior mirrors Python so is unsurprising in a Python-based framework 2 - changing it at this point is backwards-incompatible 3 - you can easily write your own filter to title case in whatever manner you want But like I said I don't know what is technically "correct" for title casing, so if what you are proposing is the generally accepted way than perhaps there is a case to be made for including in Django a filter that does casing that way.
