Comment (by desrosj):

 Reviewing this, I'm not sure that the preferred change is to always
 capitalize "documentation". I personally wouldn't consider "documentation"
 to be a proper noun.

 All instances of `Documentation URL` in Core that I can find are at the
 beginning of a sentence, and all instances of `documentation URL` are
 found within sentences, so these seem to be correct. `Documentation page`
 also has 6 lowercase instances and no capitalized, which also seems to be
 correct.

 Below is my findings on the other strings:
 - Documentation link: 1 capitalized mid sentence, 7 lowercase
 - Documentation link(s): 1 capitalized mid sentence, 7 lowercase
 - Documentation menu: 1 capitalized mid sentence
 - Documentation dropdown: 1 capitalized mid sentence
 - Site URL: 3 incorrectly capitalized mid sentence, 54 correctly lower
 cased mid sentence.
 - Website URL: 2 instances lower cased as translation context.

 The more common pattern that matches what I would expect to see is only
 capitalized when the first word of a sentence, label, or translation
 string/context, and lowercase everywhere else.

 Today is the beta 1 deadline for 5.8. If someone is able to refresh the
 patch in the next ~6 hours, we can get this one in. But otherwise I will
 punt to 5.9 to allow more time.
