 Replying to [comment:6 Christopher Lenz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>]:
 > If I understand this patch correctly, this would break languages where
 nouns are capitalized even inside sentences, such as German.

 Yes. And I doubt that every language uses capitalization in field labels.
 A clean solution might require:

  * verbose names be always the "raw" forms, e.g. for English lower case,
 for German dependant on the category (nouns are upper case)
  * a filter tag {{{label}}} that converts the raw form into the label
 form. For the languages I know, this is the same as firstcap.
