Would it not be possible to look up a capitalised word, and return the noun if 
it exists in the lexicon, and something like "name" or "proper" if it doesn't?  
Then you would only have to check the names, and add them to the lexicon where 
they were in fact nouns.  That is how we're doing it in the autoglosser, but 
maybe that approach would not fit in with the MOR architecture?
