Hello all, when I use the following YAML entry with chicago-fullnote-bibliography.csl the title is rendered as:

“The IKettle, the Eleven-Hour Struggle to Make a Cup of Tea, and Why It Was All About Data, Analytics and Connecting Things Together,”

Because “iKettle” is a mixed-cased proper noun, it should not be changed IMHO. Is this expected behavior? Is it the result of the specification, actual CSL, or citeproc? Any tips appreciated.

I think the specs (and citeproc-js) have this right:  
The iKettle, the Eleven-Hour Struggle to Make a Cup of Tea, and Why It Was  
All about Data, Analytics and Connecting Things Together.

This follows the 2nd sentence of point 2. here:  
[http://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#title-case-conversion](http://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#title-case-conversion)  
So I think this is a citeproc-pandoc bug.
