-following text from http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-Capitalize/Capitalize.pm
-
-This web page:
-  http://www.continentallocating.com/World.Literature/General2/LiteraryTitles2.htm
-
-presents some admirably clear rules for capitalizing titles:
-  ALL words in EVERY title are capitalized except
-  (1) a, an, and the,
-  (2) two and three letter conjunctions (and, or, nor, for, but, so, yet),
-  (3) prepositions.
-  Exceptions:  The first word is always capitalized even
-  if it is among the above three groups. For the last word, we can specify the
-  option to always capitalize it or to treat it like a medial word. The original
-  method always capitalized the final word, so to support the old method calls
-  we have defined another method to provide this as default behavior.
-  
-
-But consider the case:
-  "It Waits Underneath the Sea"
-
-Should the word "underneath" be downcased because it's a preposition? Most English speakers
-would be surprised to see it that way. Consequently, the default list of exceptions to
-capitalization in this module only includes the shortest of the common prepositions
-(to of by at for but in).
-
-The default entries on the exception list are:
-     a an the
-     and or nor for but so yet
-     to of by at for but in with has
-     de von
-The observant may note that the last row is not composed of English words. The honorary
-"de" has been included in honor of "Honore' de Balzac". And "von" was added for the sake
-of equal time.
