Not with HTML and CSS alone. You'd make 'capital letter at paragraph 
start' into a markup, maybe with the following Markup() call:

   Markup ('initial-caps',
     'inline',
     '/^[:upper:]/e',
     'Keep(\'<span style="your-style-goes-here">\') . \'$0\' . 
Keep(\'</span>\')');

(Sorry for the word wrap, my mail program won't allow a longer line here.)

No guarantees for:
* The 'inline' line (another place in the markup sequence might be 
preferrable).
* The replacement string (it might have backslashes or quotes in the 
wrong places).

You will probably want to use a <span class=...> instead of a <span 
style=...>, since that would allow you to influence the formatting from 
the CSS file.
