Summary: title() uppercases latin1 strings after accented letters

Initial Comment:
When using latin1, the title() method of strings considers accented 
letters as word separators. The same thing doesn't happen with 
unicode strings:

>>> print u'diógenes'.title()
Diógenes
>>> print 'diógenes'.title()
DióGenes


I'm using Python 2.4.2 on Ubuntu Breezy with 'utf-8' as default 
encoding.
