Shouldn't be "On this Computer" if it's going to mention being on
something at all? In English, modifiers amidst titles, do not get
capitalization, only those that begin the title do. And this is
clearly the title of a group in the tree. Section 8.3 specifies
that it should have "Header" capitalization. Therefore, it should
be "this" not "This", as it is not "This Computer", but "On this
Computer".

not to offend anyone with the quoting placement in my mail. :)
