Digging through Igor's links, I see the link for capitalization is 
here, and it simplifies all capitalization decisions into one of two 
categories, which I like. Lacking a better guideline, I suggest we 
adopt this for Kicad, effective immediately:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/2.20/design-text-labels.html.en#layout-capitalization


Header capitalization: capitalize nouns and verbs but not articles, 
conjunctions nor prepositions.


Sentence capitalization: Capitalize the first word only, with few 
exceptions.


I see that tooltips should use sentence capitalization. Menu Items 
should use header capitalization, etc.

It is concise and easy to follow, see the link.
