That's a good point and would provide the most flexibility for CSS text 
transformation. And, I suppose that is the correct US English way for 
titles of things.

The standard Drupal way for field and fieldset titles is to *just* 
capitalize the first word. If we go the 'Titles of Things' route, then 
we should change the field(set) titles standard to use this as well IMHO.
