    I'd advise anyone using this to not take their expansion of acronyms
    as gospel truth. Just for fun, I put in the acronym of the project I
    work for at NASA. Their expansion was wrong. I sent e-mail to them
    with the correct version, but I only got one of those automated reply
    messages in return so far.

    Caveat emptor.
