Yes, this is a pretty stupid rule.  (In fact, English is full of stupid
rules, like title-casing itself.)  I do use that style of title-casing,
though.  I may decide to implement that feature at some point.
Unfortunately, it would not be very feasible to implement it in a way
that supports languages other than English.  Perhaps we could check the
current locale, and only provide such an option when the locale is an
English-based one (?).

By the way, here are MusicBrainz's rules:
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/CapitalizationStandardEnglish .  I think they
try to follow, as closely as possible, the foggy and not-well-understood
English Title Capitalization rules.  I would probably follow those rules
(as closely as is reasonably possible) if I implemented such a feature.
