Agreed. Perhaps a new property, OPTIONAL_TITLE? The texinfo back-end
could use this in menus and the latex back-end could pass it to the
sectioning command, e.g., \chapter[optional]{title} (if this isn't
already possible).

I don't think so. We want either sentence case (Properties and columns)
or title case (Properties and Columns), not capitalized (Properties And
Columns).
All the best,
Tom
