> French grammar specifies that capital letters don't have accents.

This is not true at all, and not only in Québec :)

Some references (in French of course):
France: http://www.academie-francaise.fr/langue/questions.html#accentuation
European Union (including Belgium, Luxembourg):
http://publications.eu.int/code/fr/fr-240203.htm#i55

Discussion and rationale:

It seems that the Word spellchecker has a setting to optionally ignore this rule
though: http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/assistance/HP051896001033.aspx

You may want to do the same for "legacy typewriters", but it shouldn't be the
default in any variant of French.
