Sure. We're learning, slowly. I don't believe the way to good strings that 
follow the style guide is through "y0, developers, memorize the style guide 
and apply it". So in this "really nice" thread I'm going to add:

It would be really nice if the proofreading team, when committing fixes, did 
it with a longer commit message than "Style guide fixes". Ideally, it'd be 
by-file with a little "remember, capitalize window titles as book title (all 
words capitalized except if, but, and, the, a, moose, ..)", though I realize 
this is probably too much work for the styleguide enforcers. As it is now, 
the styleguide commits are just "this is wrong", with no information on 
_what_ exactly is wrong (yeah, cvs diff) or why.
