Thanks, that certainly does illustrate the problem well, as well as
pointing out the importance of correct stress in spoken English!

Having a dig through the database, there are quite a few that were
incorrectly capitalised until recently.  There are also multiple
references to [1], which points out that the same problem exists for
similar titles.  It's a difficult problem, and I guess that the best
Guess Case could do would be to warn users when dealing with potentially
ambiguous titles.

For original track, I'll revert back to 'The In Set' (I'm assuming that
this is correct), and add a note to the annotation.  That way, if it
gets 'corrected' again, it may also stand some chance of being reverted
back.

Regards,

Chris
