Hello folks,

I think that using 'f' for "leaf" isn't right.  What's wrong with 'l' - 
or (typographically better) 'L'?

Acronyms in general are often misused in ways that lead to reduced 
understanding.  Acronyms that don't suggest the phrases they abbreviate 
are guaranteed to increase head-scratching and reduce comprehension.

Also, I think that "RPL-unaware" would be much better than 
"not-RPL-aware".  And, then, "RuL' instead of the twiddly thing.

Regards,
Charlie P.
