Not that in this particular case, the first brackets around {D} are
not necessary, since the first letter of titles is kept in uppercase
(if you have a book title, the case is completely kept, in general).

Things become more funny with names where bibtex insists on deriving
initials from first names by itself. For example, the name ``Philippe
Robert'' will be changed by bibtex to ``P. Robert'', whereas the right
thing to do is ``Ph. Robert''. Here, the only solution is to use
``{\relax Ph}. Robert''.

But I disgress.
