Hi All,

Attached is the new and improved ISI-plugin. Changes include:

- Added copyright and license information

- Added support for titlecase 
(http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2008/05/27/titlecasepy-titlecase-in-python/) 
if present. titlecase does not really resolve the main problem with 
capitalization of titles, which is recognizing acronyms that should 
remain capitalized. I see no obvious solution for that other than a 
dictionary. However, since acronyms in science are so common and vary so 
much across fields that building such a dictionary seems like too 
difficult a task. If anyone has some insight about this I'll be happy to 
hear it.

- Added a show/hide document button to the record chooser. This is very 
useful when running the plugin on many documents at once and not knowing 
which document is the current one.

- Added a feedback when no record is found. Before the plugin simply 
exited without giving any feedback to the user of whether anything 
happened at all. If people find the feedback popup annoying I can 
probably add a preference option to disable it.

- Some code cleanup and fixes.

Please let me know of any problems.
Yoav
