I'm not sure I agree with all of the capitalization/usage ideas 
either. Did you take the non-WordPress recommendations from a 
particular style guide? If not, I would suggest consulting one that is 
considered authoritative. Some concerns I have:
    * Some style guides suggest always capitalizing Internet
    * I don't think "website" and particularly "homepage" should be 
written without spaces in them. I've never seen "mailserver" written 
as a single word.
    * Since all the other WP-specific items are capitalized, why not 
Blogroll?
    * How common is it to spell "email" with a hyphen? That seems 
outdated to me.

Just my 2 cents; I'm not an editor by trade...

There are also a couple of typos: (a) Under Link Categories, it says 
to "categorize" instead of "capitalize" both words. (b) Also near the 
bottom, the example for "checkbox" is missing the word checkbox, I 
think -- it should say "select the xyz checkbox".
