    smallcaps is what \textsc provides under LaTeX.

That is what small caps are, yes.  You can always get them with @sc, not
that that will make you happy.

     > I find smallcaps (in text) very intrusive.
    Actually, it's because IMHO they are much less intrusive that I prefer
    them :)

I 100% agree that full-size capitals, as in your example, are too
intrusive.  No argument there.

But smallcaps are not the only alternative.  There is another tradition
of typesetting allcaps words one point size smaller.  This is my
preference.  I find smallcaps, as I said, *too* small for acronyms that
might occur many times in running text.  Full-size caps are too big.
One-point-size-smaller caps are, IMHO, just right.  Opinions differ.
