Interestingly, the LC authority for LCSH has only the LoC bit capitalised, with "subject headings" in lower case. However, in anything I've checked the whole thing is capitalised. So RDA's idea of following the capitalisation of normal language usage seems to be just as ambiguous in practice in RDA as it was in AACR2 ...

Thanks Anne
Like you, the transcribing capitals option is filling me with dread!
But I imagine in bulk loads (ebooks for example) we would accept it...

I agree they should be related. I just didn't think of that at the time
:)
Library of Congress Subject Headings is a proper noun so should be capitalised.
There's also the option in RDA (terrifying though it is for us) to transcribe capitals as they appear on the title page (but I think this is really meant for those who accept publisher data (because that's what ONIX does), and can't bring myself to capitalise at the random whim of a page designer (VIRTUAL REFERENCE DESK ahoy)!
