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
