What causes DBT to treat Roman numerals differently than any other letter
groups, as far as translation? I can see where they might not do as they are
told with respect to formatting.  It is amazing how much difference use and
non-use of the capital sign  makes in writing and computing, where a good
braille reader doesn't notice. I don't remember whether something I read is
transcribed using BANA or BAUK rules from day to day. I might well be the
only one on the list who is the only end user, as I am not in the business
of producing braille.
