Simple use case: Depending on location in the UI you might want to have
the user visible string in sentence case vs. title case.

I do believe that the vast majority of desktop actions shouldn't use
this, because the vast majority of application developers aren't
tailoring their UI for a particular desktop.  But, we shouldn't take
away the tools allowing them to be more precise if they want to take on
that maintenance burden.
