Not to mention the current debate on the automake list on whether GNU or
@acronym{GNU} is preferred in GNU manuals (Karl Berry is arguing that it
is simpler to blindly write GNU, rather than either @acronym{GNU} or
@sc{gnu}, and that the differences in font rendering in dvi/pdf files
aren't worth worrying about by just going with the solution with the
least typing).
