Comment (by Eben):

 After discussing this in the design review, we found that the use case
 might actually be best covered by a global preference toggle for the
 entire machine.  Of course, there are two problems with that idea.  First,
 it would mean that we need a reasonable way to support it in all
 activities.  Second, there would be no easy way to quickly toggle back and
 forth between caps and lowercase while looking at the text, which I
 thought was a big benefit to placing the button in the view toolbar for
 the activity.

 I think a bit more discussion of the possible approaches and their
 pros/cons is needed to make the correct decision.
