The problem is that there is more than one set of rules for English. |

According to Wikipedia [4], "the rules differ substantially between |
16 |
individual house styles" and "the convention followed by many British |
17 |
publishers [...] is sentence-style capitalisation in headlines". |

As PMS follows British English spelling (with some exceptions, e.g., |
20 |
"licence" is spelt "license" even if it doesn't denote the variable), |
21 |
maybe we should also go with sentence case then? |
