It is probably this way because all caps are not usually (if ever)
accented in Greek, so the only time upper-case letters take accents is
at the start of capitalised words, where dialytika can never appear, as
dialytika only make sense on the second of two consecutive vowels.

Can you please explain why iota with dialytika and tonos needs to be
special-cased in these places?
Thanks,
