Default Grammar / Style Question: Anglicization

Hi folks,

I'm trying to determine whether or not "anglicization" needs to be capitalized. For instance, MS Word autocorrects it to a capital, and even Firefox's spell-check considers it wrong sans-capital...but the online OED shows examples of both uses, and I can't seem to track down which one is the more accepted or preferred in academic writing. I used it in a draft recently (with the capital), and a peer reviewer raised the question. It's a minor issue, but any insight would be appreciated!
