Yikes! I just noticed that u''.title() is really broken! It doesn't really pay attention to word breaks -- only characters that "have case". Therefore when there are (caseless) combining characters in a word it's really broken e.g. >>> u'n\u0303on\u0303e'.title() u'N\u0303On\u0303E' That is (where '~' is combining-tilde-over) n~on~e -title-cases-to-> N~On~E
