    33Suppose we provide an icon to toggle between title/sentence case in the edit pane. Then, if the user modifies something beyond the capitalization in either form, we determine the minimum number of deletes and inserts to transform it (classic dynamic programming problem), and if this includes insertion of a new word, we capitalize it/put it in lower case as appropriate. This will require some modifications to the database schema, but is, as far as I can tell, the most intuitive all-encompassing solution. 
     4Alternatively, we could leave the entry UI as is, and use BibTeX-style curly braces to specify that letters should be capitalized as they are. This is the easier solution, but is somewhat lacking in terms of usability.
