It could be it was primarily "UNIX" vs "Unix" that I ran into 
this. The rules may be different once trademarked or perhaps 
it was trademarked with that particular capitalization. But my 
editor gave me at the time the impression that the rules had 
changed. 

My 14th edition (1993) doesn't seem to reflect any change of 
rules. I also cannot seem to otherwise find signs of it on the 
net, unless like you pointed out, it applies only to software 
language acronyms. In any case, the rules are many in this 
area. ;-)
