>See ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3092.txt Someone had some time on their hands! Just last weekend, in a bookstore, I was looking through Microsoft's documentation style guide, and noticed the explicit prohibition of the use of "foobar" or its components as being too slangy. I did pick up a "FOO" bumper sticker (modeled after the 2- and 3-letter oval stickers so popular in the States, e.g. "VT," "MV," "OBX," etc.) at Linux World. It's still the only bumper sticker on our car. I thought that "FOO" vs. "FO" was an interesting question. I'm surprised more people don't ask why "xsl" is the most common namespace prefix used in XSLT, but not XSL, for which "fo" is.
