Hey, sugar! (FWIW, "Tex" and I are friends outside of here and professional colleagues as well.)
I ask the customer. With most scenarios, I do as requested by the customer--even when it's wrong. I try my best, within the bounds of the contractual relationship and my tolerance for BS, to keep them from going completely off the rails in terms of grammar and proper punctuation usage, (if asked), but after that, it's on them. (For example,
gently explaining that emdashes and ellipses don't actually have spaces before and aft, in print, sigh...)
For TOCs title case, I use the usual if "converting" from all-caps. (APA Title case with l/c for articles and the like.) If we're asked to do so and then we tell the customer to check it. (And 99% of the time, they don't, but whatchagonnado?)
