here are 2 ideas to support alternative typing styles:

1.  are there any capitalization packages?  i often type in lowercase
(for various reasons) and would like to have a function capitalize the
beginning of sentences and known proper nouns.  ideally it would
behave like ispell.

(lisp-dir-apropos said there weren't any at ohio-state.)

2.  i'd like to be able to have auto-fill not fill on the first space
that i type after a period, since when it does a do-auto-fill (or
whatever) it fills, then starts the next line with a space.  (i like
to put 2 spaces to begin sentences.)

i'm open to comparing research career notes with other cogsci/cogneuro people.
