Ah, nice definitions. The dictionary.com entries here http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=capitalise yield no results, which is neither here or there, but just illustrates the basic problem: "It depends".
If you look up http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=capitalize you get the same definitions that you listed. Isn't this fun? I do think that standardizing on something is good. At the risk of being US-centric, US English seems like a reasonable rule of thumb.
