The Economist was used as an example beacuse it employs some common typographic tricks (e.g. dropdown initials and small-caps) and is widely available. If you pick up a copy, you will see that the number of cap'ed (not bold) words vary from article to article. Perhaps you can find some heuristic DSSSL-codable algorithm for this, but I think a <C> tag is a more elegant solution.
