Since no policy refers to any brand name and RSA is simply
a brand name for public key cryptOGRAPHy, I don't see any
real need to worry about confusion here.  Almost any TLA
has multiple meanings.  Heck, I find myself having to
work really hard at NRPM (Number Resource Policy Manual)
because my brain keeps going to NPRM (Notice of Proposed
Rule Making), but, we've managed to muddle through that.

I think context will make clear which meaning of RSA
we are discussing.  However, if there appears to be wider
concern about this issue, I will replace the language
in the proposal.
