The patch is quite old and probably won't even apply cleanly on the current
code.
Its functionality was rejected quite long ago in IRC due to settings bloat.
The last version of the patch didn't only add space to scrolling but had an
option to input a custom string padding on the scrolled line.

Path FS#9455 has stirred up some discussion on IRC which led to a dead end.
Currently, forward-scrolling (bidirectional scrolling isn't a matter) in
Rockbox pads exactly 3 spaces at the end of the string, to differentiate
between the last and first letters of the string.

I have to agree, sentence case seems the way to go.
Title case is used mostly in English and not other languages.
Either way we must follow a strict guideline to avoid inconsistencies.

I will have to agree with Daniel on this.
Write your plugin and post it on the tracker. I am sure that if the plugin
is good, many persons that might like it will love to see this in SVN. Even
if you make it and for some reason it won't make it on SVN there is
absolutely no harm.
