Erm, friendlyDisplay versus friendlyName?
Of course, if your models were mixed / camel case, you could just use
the inflector and php functions to achieve this... :)
Personally, I think it's okay to let the controller attempt this bit
of view logic, seeing as the views can override it if they have reason
to - it's just a useful default.
I usually go for putting this in beforeRender, using a prettified
version of $this->action (add/edit etc) and then the model or
controller name.
