Hmmm, I'm not entirely understanding the question.  If you're using 
NameOfPage as a wikiword, then the resulting page name should be 
NameOfPage -- PmWiki doesn't change the capitalization of wikiwords.

However, if you're using [[name of page]] as a page link (not a
wikiword), then PmWiki converts that to NameOfPage as the page name.
Same thinkg for [[Name of page]] and [[Name Of Page]] -- all of them
are supposed to be converted into NameOfPage for the pagename.

The utf-8 handler is supposed to understand and properly convert capitals 
for [[page links]], but PHP doesn't provide any convenient mechanism for
non-ASCII uppercase and lowercase letters in WikiWords.  So, the best
bet is to always use double brackets to denote page links, and that
should work everywhere.  (English/US-ASCII wikiwords should still work
if wikiwords are enabled, however.)

Hope this helps,
