I believe it is always better to bend over backwards, if need be, to
make a document clear. If someone had requested it, I would spell out
any acronym in a draft of mine, not matter how "well known" -- IETF,
IP, TCP, whatever. I believe the correct response to a request to
spell out an acronym on first use is always to simply agree with that
request, as in "RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol)".

Thanks,
Donald
