Trademark dispute time?  That nearly happened when Red Hat gave the name
"Fedora" to their OS when Cornell and UVa were already using the term
for their open-source repository.

There's an (apocryphal?) story that one of the eminences grises of the
computer industry, when asked a decade or so ago about the greatest
problem facing the technical world, replied, "There are only 17,576
possible three-letter acronyms".

(I'm back from California and beginning to look over tei-council mail
from this week.)
