If the string "text-transform: capitalize" is text-transformed to capitalize, should the "t" of "-transform" be capitalized, too?
Opera and Mozilla say No, but they're in the minority. Therefore this is officially a bug in Opera and Mozilla.

A related bug (I think): when "text-transform: capitalize" is applied, Safari appears to capitalize a letter following an apostrophe; see: http://www.usc.edu/education/about/about_dean.htm

The spec says nothing except that it's "language-dependent". Title-casing is an extremely complex problem, as evidenced by this blog post by Michael Kaplan, who does stuff like that for a living at Microsoft.

In this post, he describes differences, shortcomings and intentions of functions like VB's StrConv with the vbProperCase flag and .Net's TextInfo.ToTitleCase.
My belief is that capitalize should have never been a valid value for text-transform - the chance of it getting everything right is virtually nil.
