It was my unfortunate contribution (to preserve the exact styling--mixed small caps with regular caps) to the advice that led to that. I think that

would preserve both the small caps where sighted users are concerned, and the information that Death's words ring differently for everyone else. (Even the previously mentioned Random in Death uses <small> where small caps are concerned )
