András, in

I tried to ask if it is possible to determine if a specific CSL style 
uses title or sentence case. I believe that without "independently of 
the style" requirement behavior may be more convenient for users.

Consider a user who have .bib files following BibTeX recommendations: 
title case with hints where capital letters should be preserved during 
conversion to sentence case. Their is preparing a couple of papers. One 
journal requires StyleT with title case, another one StyleS with 
sentence case. If citeproc may determine what kind of capitalization is 
used by each style then it performs transformation to sentence case for 
StyleS, but passes strings as is for StyleT. Conversion to title case 
for StyleT is applied, but has no effect.

I can not figure out what user case is not covered and requires explicit 
setting.
