Moi aussi.  I'm firmly against abbreviations like this.  Though
Carl's argument for them was a good one, I remain convinced 
that full-word English is the One True way to name your 
keywords, and I will forbid my coworkers to use the SPKI 
abbreviations if such make it into the finished version.


Carl should program his emacs to spell out the whole word 
whenever he types the abbreviations...  :-)


Regards,

Bryce
