Re: [platform-doc-dev] Capitalization

It would be good to have a style guide with these points captured.  It doesn't have to be extensive, just a place to keep such decisions where people can refer back to them.

I actually don't know if it should be "Tasks View" or "Tasks view", but I'm happy with you just picking one since it means we can achieve some consistency.

Another area where there is inconsistency is in capitalization.  Most section titles in the table of contents and headings within pages are sentence case, but some aren't.  I've been converting everything to sentence casing wherever I've seen inconsistencies, but I wanted to make sure we agree on it. 

A much trickier case is proper nouns.  I believe things like "Tasks View", "File Menu", and "Export Wizard" are all proper nouns, and as such both words should always be capitalized.  The documentation more commonly uses "Tasks view", "File menu", and "Export wizard", but I think this is not correct.  Correct me if I'm wrong here, but unless I hear otherwise I'll correct these problems where I see them.
