Yes, with selection of start of sentence--but not the whole run should honor
the selection--capitalize first character, the rest of the selection to lower
case per sentence case).

Yes, with selection made--honor the selection. Capitalize the first selected
character, remainder of selection to lower case.

Yes, with selection made--pass exactly that string for transliteration--and
then only the TITLE_CASE would need to expand to its word bound.

With no selection, i.e. text cursor only, this remains the rub! But, if no
selection--should probably not apply to the whole sentence, applying just to
the word at the text cursor position would "protect" users from clobbering
things. Sentence case would then match the other transliterations.

Hmm, looks like the TITLE_CASE transliteration has always been in the
caserotate.cxx -- obviously it has to apply to the Word bounds, current word
for no selection--and to all words of a selection (including the opening word).

Needs consistency across _ALL_ modules
As a side bar to handling this--added a request for an UNO action to "Select
Sentence" as bug 124552, to more precisely select sentence via a keyboard
shortcut rather than a mouse cursor drag.
