Most style guides that I'm aware of, including the Australian Style Manual,
the Chicago Manual of Style, the Microsoft Manual of Style, and the Sun
style manual (Read Me First) all specify minimalist capitalisation.
Whether you or the people you deal with consider a style guide's
recommendations as "rules" is another matter, but you can certainly wave an
impressive collection of authoritative references at people if you need to.
