I've been meaning to ask for a while why it is becoming so common for

Why not call it KRL? That's the natural acronym for a "Knowledge 
Representation Language". I have to agree with Joshua that I found this 
quite confusing for a while until I understood that you were using the 
acronym in a non-standard way.
