RE: [Geopriv] Review of <draft-ietf-sip-location-conveyance-07.txt>

English uses capitals on proper names, like "Fred", and "Chicago" only, apart from certain other rules like at the beginning of a sentence, the personal pronoun and in abbreviations.

"target" may well be a defined term, but it is not a proper name.

It seems to be a consistent habit of specification writers to use capitals all over the place when they are not needed.
