Wrong!

The usual rule when capitalising a proper name applies, viz that all letters are to be typed in capitals, with accents included as appropriate.

I agree that a common sense line should be drawn. You have already crossed that line with your argument that names should be fully stated. Having done so, you must either abandon your argument or accept its full consequences.

In other words, you cannot have your villager and eat him.

Poor college kid with a brand spanking new, probably high, bill to add to my pile of "bills I'd rather buy a Mac than pay."
