This is the paragraph following the one from which you quote:
<quote>
The convention followed by British publishers is the same used in many
other languages (e.g., French, German), namely to use sentence-style
capitalization in titles and headlines, where capitalization follows the
same rules that apply for sentences.

Could this be the source of your "vague impression"? The statement
itself is utter nonsense
unless all British books follow this "convention", which I doubt.
That is unnecessarily confrontational. My impression is based on the
fact that I am in the UK, I read books, and I see sentence style
capitalization. I also think that your counter is utter nonsense. A
convention doesn't have to be followed 100% of the time to be a convention.
I also think that the rest of your email is unnecesasrily
confrontational when I made an effort to be clear about the limitations
of my sources (which is exactly what an honourable researcher should
do). This attitude is not helpful, and for the benefit of OOoAuthors I
encourage you to drop it.
