Those are discouraged, but we also recognize that they are often the most common usage ('IP' in IP address for example) and where that usage is common is fine. Again, networking is an area where many things are commonly known only by their abbreviation, and this usage is in fact expected by users. In the end, picking commands that are what users would expect to search for is what they appreciate the most.</div><div><br></div><div>dt</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br>Dean Troyer<br><a href="mailto:dtroyer@gmail.com" target="_blank">dtroyer@gmail.com</a><br></div>
