Well, the title consists only of 5 capitalized letters, the way the author intended it to be. It's like say CIA, Black Ops. How would calibre do a proper title case? Cia, Black Ops?

Calibre has probably a built-in safe acronyms list - CIA, FBI, NATO, UN...

[EDIT] The plot thickens...

If I change the title to QBVII, Queens Bench Courtroom Number Seven, calibre accepts the capitalized QBVII, but not if the title consists only of QBVII.

CIA, Black Ops is also accepted, but a title like CIA will be converted to Cia.
