Hello!

Before this thread goes stale, let's try to come to a conclusion.

OK. We have two alternatives:

1) Title case (Apple):
   §1 Capitalize the first, last, and all major words (i.e. not "closed 
class")
   §2 For sentences, use sentence case

  pro:
   - used similarly by all major OS and apps
   - validated(?) by research done by big companies
   - we use it already, just not consistently
  con:
   - it's not natural English

2) Sentence case (Chrome)
  pro:
   - it's natural English
   - the rules would be extremly easy
  con:
   - all apps have to be adapted
   - ports would stick out a bit more


I'm not sure further discussion will bring us closer to a consensus.
Do you think it's time to vote?

Humdinger
