True, but Title Case is easy (the number of exceptions is very small, I 
think there are twenty words in the Janus/Ada pretty printer's list). And 
it's what you'd write in text: you'd write "Records of Response", never 
"Records Of Response".

As with all such things, there can be no resolution to such an argument. 
Just don't ever start an identifier with a lower case letter, that's just 
too weird. :-)

                                        Randy.
