Cryo_b_urn or Cryo_B_urn?[edit]

Should the "b" in the middle of the title be capitalized? Bujold seems to have favored that:

"The CryoBurn form works better for me for two reasons, one internal to the book, one external. Externally, "cryoburn" is a real word, a term used in medicine to describe the damage to tissues undergoing cryonic procedures, of which there are many. So this helps distinguish the title from the term. Internally, there is both a mild pun with respect to the plot, and a glancing reference to some of the corporation nicknames -- NewEgypt, WhiteChrys -- that sets up a ni"

"... Because we couldn't call it Fred. Or NewEgypt, its file name for lo these many moons. Or Miles Vorkosigan and the Cryochamber of Secrets, alas."

That's a good point to bring up. At this point, I think Bujold is the only one using that capitalization. (Examples: Baen (her publisher); Amazon; The Hugo nominees; The Cryoburn CD.) The fact that the all-caps cover doesn't give any hint at capitalization is frustrating, as well as the fact that the popularized capitalization is not the one preferred by the author. But at this point, my opinion is that unless/until the "CryoBurn" capitalization starts being used in reliable sources outside of Bujold's blog, that we should stick with the much-more-frequent "Cryoburn".
