It says "usually" here, and that's also the way I learned to capitalize
titles at school, so I'm somehwat biased ;)

But I still think we should do it this way, partly because in the FAQ I
took the quote from it says that this style need not necessarily be
followed since we've got all kinds of attributes available for marking
headings nowadays.

But in this case (an UI) we have NOT got those style attributes available,
so IMHO using Style A would be the right thing to do.

How is it done on other platforms?
