I feel that it is a nice way not to have to toss in constant PBUH's into one's
thoughts.
That being said, I am sure it is not formalized.
That being said, one should note that Sen notes that there is no "capital"
letter in Arabic and Persian.

I had heard that one of the reasons why the English translations of
Baha'i texts capitalize pronouns is because in the Arabic and Persian
languages, they often write "Peace be upon him" every time the name of a
Prophet is mentioned. I know this is true for Muslim texts whenever the name of
the Prophet Muhammad is mentioned. Do the Baha'i texts have the same thing in
the original languages they were written?

It is not allowable, by academic standards. If one quotes from
someone's translation, it must be quoted as printed, or each change
must be footnoted. If you italicise some words to draw attention to
the ones you are going to discuss, you put in the attribution (my
emphasis) or (emphasis added). If a translation reads "the One whom"
and this capitalisation seems incorrect, it would be cited as "the
[o]ne whom..." In short, you cannot change anything in a citation
without warning the readers that something has been changed. This is
a matter of academic standards, not Bahai rules
If quoting Persian or Arabic, there are no capital letters. There is
often punctuation added to typeset versions of texts, and the same
applies as above.
