Meh. I don't think the shortnames need to be consistent with each  
other any more than the long names do. It's naming. (I do like when  
the short name is a recognizable variant of the long name.) We've been  
calling Manchester Syntax "Manchester *Syntax*" because that's always  
been its name. We're calling OWL/XML the XML Serialization because  
some people find that more palatable.
