Wired Style recommends this guideline for use of intercaps in names like WordPerfect and HotJava: Follow the usage preferred by the name's owner. For example: 1. Follow company and product usage. If RealNetworks, Inc., spells one
of its products RealPlayer, then that is the spelling you should
use. In cases where the name begins with a lower-case letter, such as eWorld, try to avoid beginning a sentence with that name. If that's not possible, however, then use the correct form even if it means beginning a sentence with a lower-case letter: eWorld finally bites the dust.
