In most settings, this should be OK. Actually, earlier SMW versions already=
=20
uppercased first letters before *saving* (i.e. after printing the infobox),=
=20
so it won't break anything that isn't broken already ;-)

But I still think I remember that one can make MediaWiki=20
first-letter-case-aware via some setting, which would of course be the sour=
ce=20
of a bug in this case.
