Really? I didn't know that.

My fault, for not being clear enough. I'm too used to discuss this kind
of things with spanish-speaking people, where spanish/catalan
translations are usually pretty much automatic and explicit ones aren't
really needed.

*Proper* spanish usage does not capitalize "alto" ("puente alto" means
"high bridge", so if you convert it into a name, only the 'P' should be
capitalized). However... latin american usage, influenced by english
language, does capitalize the 'a'.

Oh well... we spaniards tend to be spanish language zealots (don't let
me ever get started on the 'ñ' letter).

It's your patch. I'll leave the glory to you. :->
