The english capitalization rules are anyway degenerate:

Traditionally, certain letters were rendered differently according to a 
set of rules. In particular, those letters that began sentences or nouns 
were made larger and often written in a distinct script. There was no 
fixed capitalization system until the early 18th century. The English 
language eventually dropped the rule for nouns, while the German 
language kept it.
