  Another issue, albeit more minor:
 Is there a way to have XWiki not insert spaces into the page name  
 when there is a capitalization change?  For example, we have a page  
 titled “iTunes”, but all the links to this page are rendered as “i  
 Tunes”.  I’ve edited the iTunes page and manually typed “iTunes”  
 into the Title field on the form, but this did not help.

 We can always manually change all the links to “[iTunes>iTunes]”…  
 but it seems like there should be a way to make XWiki respect the  
 title that I entered.  Any ideas? 
Right now there's no way to configure this. You could extend the  
XWikiLinkFilter class and override the getWikiView() method to not  
render it in camel case (and register your new filter in the radeox  
properties file) and put your new class in WEB-INF/classes. It's not  
hard to do but requires some programming skills.

However I'm taking your request into account since we're currently  
rewriting the rendering mechanism of xwiki. I think it makes sense to  
display the page name as is and make it configurable if users want to  
display something else.

Thanks and sorry for the delay in the answer (I've seen that you  
didn't get an answer at the time I think) :)
