Book Conversion - Changing Original Texts

As many of you know I'm converting the Harvard Classics series for the Sony Reader. There will be a few changes from the original -- some legal and some artistic.

On the legal side is the future addition of Project Gutenberg (or others as needed) information. Since I found some of the texts there it is only right that their notices stay in the book. I am creating a section at the back for these notices with its own TOC entry. They did a wonderful job along with PD so there is every reason to give them the credit they earned.

On the artistic side I feel I want to change the chapter titles to mixed case. They style for many years was to set the chapter title in all upper case. I am already altering it from the traditional "CHAPTER I." with the rest of the title following in all upper case but not part of the TOC entry to

Quote:
I. WHICH TREATS OF THE CHARACTER AND PURSUITS OF THE FAMOUS GENTLEMAN DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA
Should this be converted to
