As the positions does not matter, you could make a copyField containing only
punctuation. And maybe extended with a replace filter so that you have dot,
comma, color, bang, question ect. instead of .,:!?
The capital first letter seems a bit strange to me - what about names? But
anyway, you could do it with a PatternReplaceCharFilter, matching on something
like
([^.,:!?]\p{Space}*\p{Upper})|(^\p{Upper})
and replacing with 'capital' (the regexp above probably fails - it was just
from memory).
