you might use a custom XSLT (2.0) function like below:

<xsl:function name="my:titleCase" as="xs:string">
    <xsl:param name="str" as="xs:string" />

    <xsl:sequence select="string-join(for $x in tokenize($str,'\s') return
concat(upper-case(substring($x, 1, 1)), lower-case(substring($x, 2))), ' ')"
/> </xsl:function>

and call it like:

<xsl:value-of select="my:titleCase($str)" />

please make sure, that a namespace is declared as well (e.g,
xmlns:my="http://www.example.com/myfuncs";).

For e.g, this function when called with argument, heLLO worLD produces
output:
Hello World

You could also think, about cultural issues as pointed by Mike. But I think,
the above example could be a simple algorithm for transforming English
phrases, where you just want to capitalize the first letter of the word, and
keep rest of letters in the word as small case.
