Apparently, most people felt the "aphesis" should be lowercased
(except when at the beginning of the sentence)...
While of course it is not too late to discuss this again (and as
stated I myself don't have a preference), I think it will take a
stronger argument than "more consistent with other guidelines" to have
this accepted.

True.
