1) People should read the full manual before writing (end of 
Introduction)...

2) Probably same fate for Unix.

3) Personally, I opted for the modern typographic convention of writing 
pronounceable acronyms like a real word: Unesco, Ascii, but HTML, SVG, 
etc. Dropped G.N.U. style...

4) Perhaps we should then make a Lua (recursive?) acronym, so this would 
be true too.
I am not too good at this kind of stuff. Let's shot: "Lua is unusually 
attractive"...

Regards.
