 XSLT function for title capitalization?
Wondering if anyone has a serviceable function (preferably in XSLT 2/3 but v1 is fine if it works) that takes a string as input and returns it with title capitalization according to English-language editorial practice (for example, Chicago Manual of Style). So for example

A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ==> A Memorandum of Understanding

WHERE DID THE DRUIDS COME FROM? ==> Where Did the Druids Come From?

BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF [MR.] KITE ==> Being for the Benefit of [Mr.] Kite

Use case is, as you might guess, processing a lot of titles transcribed as all caps, wanting to convert them to standard title case format.

It doesn't have to be perfect, just anything that will minimize the need for hand-editing.
