Is there a particular guideline about acronyms in CI? I don't see it in https://confluence.oceanobservatories.org/display/CIDev/Code+Conventions at least, but I'm happy to change this if required. On the other hand, AFAICT there is no definite consensus about how to handle acronyms in naming types (*) but I'm certainly in favor of using just the upper case for the first letter of the acronym because "lowercased (e.g. XmlHttpRequest) ... ease typing and readability." (*) Again happy to change this if required.

(*) see for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention_(programming)  (search for acronym).
