I was making the point that Style A is difficult to read. I realise
I'm not a member of the self-appointed committee that came up with the
rules of the Chicago Style Manual, but I know what I like, and Style A
isn't it. Capitals should be used only where gramatically required,
and arguably for emphasis (although its difficult to imagine a case
where you need to emphasise a label), and not just to follow some
rules just because they are in a manual.
