i've got a question about document based applications. in apple's HIG it clearly states that an application should not capitalize "untitled" to emphasize that the window has yet to gain a title. however, i'm having trouble finding a single application that does this. even safari capitalizes it to "Untitled."

is there a reason for this discrepancy? what do you recommend?

Yes, there's a reason. NSDocument doesn't conform to HIG. You could rewrite it to get the proper behavior, but personally, I'd say just allow Cocoa to take care of it like it's supposed to and bitch to Apple about the bug in their framework.
