Feedback incorporated except for the acronym conventions, but not ignored.
My rule of thumb is this:

Use acronym and name where space allows. If space does not allow both use
full name. If spaces does not allow full name use only acronym. I'll check
again towards the end to see if i'm being consistent with that but it is
indeed a compromise with layout.
