Is that right? Anyone worked on that more recently than, say, 2010? Because I think that's the last time I tried that.

There's also the issue of searchability (or findability). Granted, most dropcaps are used on stop words, but not necessarily. So if a chapter starts with a significant term, finding it might be difficult due to the first letter not being part of the first "drop-capped" word. Most web browsers get this right, but they have first-letter now, whereas readers are due to their nature somewhat behind.
