I am still waiting for an argument why Book Title Caps should be used
at all.

My initial argument was/is that KDE at the moment only uses sentence style
caps, which seems fine to me.

So if we create a standard, and a lot of applications should be changed 
I think we need VERY good arguments to force authors to change their software.
Because this needs quite a bit of work!

So:
- why make it hard on the application writer who has to learn a whole new style
- do the arguments you have for the last question still hold today
- what lessons can we learn from the fact that there is very little software out
  there that does Book Style and Sentence style caps correctly.

Awaiting answers.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
