The consensus on my urgent capitalization issue is to stop fretting about it.

foo.

Well, I'll fret if I want to, but I'll stop going back and attempting to correct inconsistencies, then.

"let the copyeditor deal with it --" that's assuming that this one, unlike every other book I've ever written, will ever get farther than the slush pile.  Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm writing a better book than I've ever written before, but, you know.

Oh yes. Decide on a scheme and stick to it but don't go back and fix inconsistencies until you have a complete and final draft. Then make the back end match the scheme you picked, just before you send it off to the slush pile and not a moment before.

I can dig up some style guides if it would help...
