The definition given in the current WD is:
capitalize
Puts the first letter of each word in uppercase.
With a change to titlecase instead, I think the wording should be:
capitalize
Puts the first letter of each word in titlecase, if it is not in
uppercase.
The exception is so that something like DZIMA doesn't become DzIMA when
the capitalize transform is applied to it. Since an extra step
(checking to see if the letter is uppercase) is specified by this
definition, I think it could be considered as something more than a
clarification.
