Capitalizing pronouns - any exceptions?

[David Friedman]

Shoghi Effendi seems quite clear that Baha'is should always capitalize 
pronouns in reference to the Manifestations or 'Abdu'l-Baha, including when 
others won't share our beliefs.  I would just like to make sure I understand 
this issue correctly.  Are Baha'is allowed to not capitalize pronouns when 
writing in an academic context, or must they do so regardless?  Certainly it 
would look odd for a historian to capitalize pronouns when referring to 
Baha'u'llah but not, say, Joseph Smith.  A historian can only say that 
Baha'u'llah claimed to be a Manifestation, not that He was one.

Regards,

David
