de Sabata and macKerras

Here we go again, or is it an April Fool? Could MusicWeb and its reviewers not learn once and for all that Italian "aristocratic" surnames have a capital "D" - De Sabata, Di Stefano etc. And they're filed under "D". The fact that Gramophone has been parading its ignorance in this for at least 50 years is no excuse:"de Sabata" is strictly for those who file "macKerras" under "K".
