RSADSI (or whatever their name was back then) once tried to get the IEEE
crypto committee to use a generic term, rather than their trademark for
the "RSA encryption system."  They were told to take a hike.  This was a
couple of years ago, perhaps John Gilmore remembers more details.

Using a different name will confuse the marketplace.  It also offers
unscrupulous salesmen an opportunity "oh, that's not the *real* RSA." 
Both of those are much greater risks then the risk of trademark
infringement. Especially since it's doubtful they'd win.

Let's stick with RSA.
