If we're going to do anything like this, surely it would be better to store 
everything as sentence case (thus allowing reliable distinction of proper 
nouns), then have an on-the-fly conversion to Title Case (i.e. uppercase all 
initial letters).  (Before anyone complains, I know this would also 
capitalise short words, such as "And", "For" and "A", but that's better than 
the alternative IMHO. In fact those short-word-exceptions are a large part 
of what annoys me about title case in he first place!)
