I have always enjoyed "XS" as it is in the namespace prefix-- but that is
hardly the reason for my enjoyment. I would think others on the list would
prefer this as well, if only for the obvious pun:

    "XS" = "excess"

while

    "RELAXNG" = "relaxing"

Makes me chuckle everytime-- I think the RELAXNG one was intentional-- I am
not so sure about the W3C XML Schema acronym.
