for now, have you considered toXml() instead of getStringForm().

Now that he mentions it, that does sound reasonable, though I would prefer toXML() instead of toXml(). Thoughts?

I would prefer toXml(), because i accustomed (besides some are preaching it) to capitalize only the first letter in acronyms, mostly because it helps to eliminate confusion with uppercase letters acting as word seperators. though this counts only for "innername" acronyms, i prefer it in all cases, even when the acronym is at the end (maybe there could be something added to the name in future, even if this should not happen...).
