What about titles written in French that start with L' there is no space in the title prefix, and it is wrong to add one? I think we should have the whole title in the title field and use a title_prefix_len field to indicate the lenght of the title prefix. We don't need to make users enter a number, we can still have then enter the title and prefix in different boxes.

I built a prototype for how I think the edit interface should look for title and title prefix:
