In general I agree that the common spelling for the industry and the
target market should direct these choices.

But then you have to remember only writers care about this sort of
thing. I had a hard time convincing a company that having both
Canadian and US spellings of "colour" made us look unprofessional.

That, other words, and our non-standard copyright statement.
