Re: [csswg-drafts] Capitalization: "User Agent" or "user agent" (#5200)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Capitalization: "User Agent" or "user agent"`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Match the style guide of lowercase for "user agent"`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;Rossen_> Topic: Capitalization: "User Agent" or "user agent"<br>
&lt;Rossen_> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5200<br>
&lt;hober> q+<br>
&lt;dlibby_> florian: writing some spec text and wanted consistency, but we're completely inconsistent everywhere. using fully lowercase a bit more often<br>
&lt;dlibby_> florian: hard to do this in an automated fashion. uppercase can be done unconditionally. maybe we don't care<br>
&lt;dlibby_> hober: i don't actually care, can't pretend. w3c style guide says lowercase so lets follow that<br>
&lt;dlibby_> hober: should update the guide or follow<br>
&lt;chris> regex FTW<br>
&lt;dlibby_> florian: hard to do in practice and hard to enforce. you might automate replacement by being sentence aware<br>
&lt;dlibby_> fremy: not sure i follow, maybe we can put up a warning, think its doable<br>
&lt;dlibby_> florian: yes sounds doable<br>
&lt;dlibby_> Rossen_: do we care enough to resolve one way or another<br>
&lt;dlibby_> TabAtkins: I volunteer florian to implement the lowercasing<br>
&lt;chris> I'm fairly sure zero interop bugs are caused by this<br>
&lt;fremy> s/not sure i follow/user agent at the start of a sentence would be User agent not User Agent, so User Agent is detectably wrong/<br>
&lt;dlibby_> RESOLVED: Match the style guide of lowercase for "user agent"<br>
