 As a matter of fact in the spanish team we have supressed book title 
capitalization everywhere in KDE, since KDE 2.1. We had a long discussion in 
our team and since book capitalization is incorrect in the spanish grammar 
except for book titles, we do not use it, even if it does not follow the KDE 
styleguide. We believed this item of the styleguide was not appliable for our 
language.
