I did find this but it is not the law dictionary definition.

I'm reading my Black's Law Dictionary, 8th ed., right now and the definition of capitis deminutio has no reference whatsoever to upper case letters. Other dictionaries I consulted don't mention that stuff either.
I don't know where the online nutjobs get this upper case letters stuff from but if you or anyone else can point me to a reputable source that deals with this I would be happy to read it.
EDIT: Wait. Found it. There's an alternate spelling. Capitis Diminutio: the use of CAPITAL LETTERS to avoid paying income tax and other undesirable levies. Cool.
