some editors -- for instance, Wired magazine's policy IIRC -- refuse to
recognize capitalization guides from authors, considering capitalization
historically the domain of the craft of the scribe/typesetter and outside
the scope of the author's control.  This is an ongoing battle, or at least
skirmish, among the leisure classes and their hobbies.  Witness the nonsense
involved in The Software Formerly Known As LaTe\/
                                                                      
  /\, for instance.

This thread seems like an opportunity for pitching alternatives, to
tease BDF about
his namby-pamby style guide.  Brain D'fleur seems like a good start.

I always thought it was brian d foy (http://search.cpan.org/~bdfoy/).. and
he did it because he likes it that way. :)
