While we seem to be in a nit-pick mood, can we please distinguish between abbreviation and acronym? XML, XPath, W3C, HTTP, IBM, and even etc. are all abbreviations. An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced like a word, such as NATO (pronounced 'nay-toh') which is an abbreviation for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The UN is not the 'un', XML is not pronounced 'ks-mil', and XPath is not (IMHO) an abbreviation per se. I'm going back for seconds on my Chocolate Coated Sugar Bombs. Long live Calvin!
