What's your use case?

[bastiK]

What is title supposed to do?

[naoliv]

Will use it both for displaying data and in validation.
For example, suppose some kind of information should be converted to all upper case.

For title I will steal ​python's explanation: Return a titlecased version of the string where words start with an uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase

title is also the function name that QGIS uses, for example.

[Don-vip]

Similar to ​WordUtils.capitalize. This method is available in apache-commons plugin.

[naoliv]

It seems to be ​WordUtils.capitalizeFully

[naoliv]

Partially fixed in [11756]

I'd change URL_decode -> urldecode

That's the way it is called in SASS and PHP ;-)

In 17613/josm:

fix #14124 - Add MapCSS function title

Returns a title-cased version of the string where words start with an uppercase character and the remaining characters are lowercase.
