Shelly Et al,
Although my opinion should in no way be taken as definitive, I would tend to
lean towards capitalizing Braille no matter in what situation. Your reason
stems from respect that you bare for the originator. Mine, on the other
hand, stems from the knowledge that Braille like English, French, Spanish is
a language and it should be treated as such. As a language, it should be
afforded as much respect, if not more for certain other reasons that I will
not go into, that other languages receive.

My spell checkers insist that Braille be capitalized, though my advisor
tells me it is with a lower case letter. I capitalize it out of respect of
its creator.
