[css-cascade-6] Headings case inconsistencies

[j9t]

Part of a broader editorial challenge, the case of headings is inconsistent.

In the current draft for CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 6, for example, it’s an alternating mix of

• sentence case, e.g. “Status of this document”, “Changes since the 21 March 2023 Working Draft”, “Document conventions”
• title case, e.g. “Introduction and Missing Sections”, “Cascade Sorting Order”, “Scoped Style Rules”, ”Additions Since Level 5”
• mixed case, e.g “Important Declarations: the !important annotation”, “Scoping Styles: the @scope rule”

It doesn’t seem urgent, but the inconsistencies are noticeable.

If there’s a convention, happy to help and file a PR, for this and maybe other docs. If there’s no convention, happy to learn more about the context (if someone can provide some), to help shape one.

(Note: I think I had reported similar issues in the past, and vaguely recall that part of the challenge were W3C boilerplate expectations, but I can’t find any such conversations anymore. Also, it didn’t seem they led to more consistency yet, even in terms maintaining it in-boilerplate and in-draft.)

• mixed case, e.g “Important Declarations: the !important annotation”, “Scoping Styles: the @scope rule”

When I check specs like https://drafts.csswg.org/scroll-animations-1/ and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-view-transitions-1/ and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-1/ this mixed case approach seems to be mostly norm indeed. Everything before the : is Title Case, and evertyhing after the : is lowercase.

Inconsistent with this approach (in all those specs) are the Conformance boilerplate + the bikeshed-generated Index at the bottom.

I’m sure @tabatkins and @fantasai have more input here.
