I don't believe it makes sense to demand "evidence" on a completely
subjective issue.
As I wrote in my other email in this thread, not very many people on the
planet are going to need to know what this is. I haven't run into
anyone confused as I've worked on it, and the name was presented 6 months

This is one reason we expand acronyms on first use in IETF documents.
I don't think there's confusion here, but just preferences and annoyances.
The choice also doesn't matter to me.
