They don't *need* to be capitalised, that's just the
international convention. If someone went out and
said" Instead of writing species as Genus species,
I'll write it as GeNuS sPeCiEs" he wouldn't be wrong,
but it's not the convention. We should use the typical
conventions of the world. I personally think Wikipedia
should try to use mostly metric measurments, only
American for clarification, because that's what almost
all of the world uses.
