[Lexicog] A quick question about capitalising domains/fields.

[amsler at CS.UTEXAS.EDU]

I think domains/fields should have initial capitals in keeping with  
the treatment they receive in library classification schedules and  
book titles. Usage labels are normlly lowercase except for any proper  
nouns (countries, languages, etc.) they contain. The 'and' in  
something like "Building And Construction" (and other function words  
(between content words)) should be lowercase as they would be in a  
title.
