I considered it, but the author did not have basic small caps but
certain nouns within the string having oversize first letters. What I
should have done was write the heading in title case, use
text-transformation to all caps then have spans to bump up in size
letters as authors wish. Far better then the 'all image' text in the
original document.

Yep semantically better.

H1 SMALL { display: block; } gives me more options down the road
