--- Comment #6 from John A. Paravantis <paravantis at gmail.com> ---
I respectfully disagree with David.

If the Sentence case forces all characters but the first into lowercase, it
messes up any characters that appear in capital intentionally, such as USA,
John. This would be a major mess-up, requiring a lot of work on behalf of the
user afterwards (as in the example I provided above).

Such a unusual Sentence case function would certainly be useless to authors of
research papers, technical reports etc.

In my opinion, a paragraph in all caps should be edited to lowercase with

Format > Text > lowercase OR Cycle Case

with one step of additional editing of the first word, is Sentence case is
needed.

Again, this is why Microsoft Word works like this.
