My IBM style guide (1996) calls for sentence-style caps; no doubt my 10 years as a technical editor with IBM Australia influenced my preference for that style.

This seems like a pretty obscure style guide. Can one buy this book? I can't find it.

The sixth edition (November 2004) of "IBM Style" is available online:

It calls for sentence-style headings "in most cases". The exception it gives is updating established documentation that has always had headline-style.
