Re: [CSS21] What does 'text-transform: capitalize' mean, exactly?

My dictionaries say that capitalize means "put ALL the text in capitals" 
but I guess it's too late to change the spec.

When I Worked with Printed Documents the Term We Used for Putting the 
FIRST Character of Each Word in Uppercase was "initial caps." But the 
Convention Was to Leave Minor Words, such as Prepositions, Articles, and 
Latin Abbreviations like "i.e.", Entirely in Lowercase. I suspect that 
this would be difficult to implement.

Also, if a future version of the spec introduces a "capitalize-all" text 
transformation, what should happen to camel-case text like "WebKit"?
