You have still yet to prove that. I can not find a free copy of the 8th edition.
There is obviously a reason behind JOHN DOE, and John Doe, otherwise they would only use one of them.

That's because some stuff is just common sense and other stuff doesn't need to be made a law in order for them to use it; being If Nom de Guerre is represented as all caps name in that manual, they wouldn't need a law to put your name in all caps and state so.
"A name spelled in all capital letters or a name initialed, is not a proper noun denoting a specific person, but is a fictitious name, or a name of a dead person, or a nom de guerre."
The only explanation for all capital letters in "The Gregg Reference Manual" 8th edition, is found in Chapter 3, Sec. 358, Legal Documents:
"In legal documents many words that would ordinarily be written in small letters are written with initial capitals or all capitals--for example, references to parties, the name of the document, special provisions, and sometimes spelled-out amounts of money..."
But another quote purportedly from the Gregg manual reads: "A name spelled in all capital letters or a name initialed, is not a proper noun denoting a specific person, but is a fictitious name, or a name of a dead person, or a nom de guerre."
One could speculate with this information that one interpretation of an all capital name is one of a monetary amount. Noting that the original definition came from the Rev. Model Bus. Corp. Act (Revised Model Business Corporation Act) , and knowing that corporations cannot deal in money but in debt, I would speculate that the all capital name could be an indebted corporation.
There is nothing in the manual about all caps or what it would mean if a name is written (or typed) in all caps.

That is a totally naive statement, and totally not true. Whenever I get some kind of junk mail from the bank it is sent to Ryan McCloud. However when they send me an overdrawn statement or anything pertaining to debt/money, my name is printed RYAN MCCLOUD. You can not prove this means nothing.
Yes, there is. See above for origin and a 2nd compelling quote that do exist on the book.
The Certificate of Legal Existence is a document that shows conclusive evidence that a corporation is in 'good standing' in the state in which the corporation originally registered. This certificate is issued by the Connecticut Secretary of the State's office.
En legis. In this Private Agreement the term "en legis" means a creature of the law, an artificial being, as contrasted with a natural person, such as a corporation, considered as deriving its existence entirely from the law.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"A citizen of the United States is a citizen of the federal government ..." (Kitchens v. Steele 112 F.Supp 383).
(b)(27) "Person" means an individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, public corporation, or any other legal or commercial entity.
