Style guides? A few weeks back, I contacted The Guardian to correct the spelling of "PARC" quoting a well known online encyclopedia as a reliable source. I also pointed out that "parc" appeared to be a registered trademark.
They were adamant. Their style guide said that it should be "Parc".
The BBC's style guide says the same. Acronyms (that is, abbreviations that are pronounced as a word, rather than as individual letters) get only one capital letter, eg. "Nasa" not "NASA". I guess it makes it easier to know how to pronounce an unfamiliar name.
