there are plans to weaken this rule.

Currently, these proposed modifications of the official rules are not (ye=
t)
effective.
For capitalized proper names (likewise for typesetting proper names in sm=
all
caps), an uppercase variant of the sharp-S would indeed be preferable to =
the
current use of (lowercase) sharp-S. For all other capitalized words (and,=
indeed, for proper names) I'd prefer to stick with double-S -- but, of co=
urse,
this is more a matter of habits than of taste.
