This is the respective code from core-spa.mkiv, and it is obviously broken as it defines \Words to be the same as \Word (and it defines \Word wrongly in the first place).

[…]
\def\WORD{\groupedcommand{\setcharactercasing[\plusone  ]}{}}
\def\word{\groupedcommand{\setcharactercasing[\plustwo  ]}{}}
\def\Word{\groupedcommand{\setcharactercasing[\plusthree]}{}} % \plusfour

\let\WORDS\WORD
\let\words\word
\let\Words\Word
[…]

I just played a little bit with the lua code but get lost miserably considering all those nodes, linked lists etc.

It seems to be the hard part to skip the remaining words properly, so its implementation was postponed. Is this correct?

Hans, do you feel something about the issue?

Thanks,
