To clarify my original posting:
I did mean that ALL CAPS should be used for such things as headings.

this was obvious. All caps are one of the few emphasis options easily
available in ASCII editors. Without the use of some kind of emphasis:
ALL CAPS
Underlining

the text of an ASCII two document tends to run together and is very
hard to read.
Thanks,
