WWW stands for World Wide Web - three *english* words. If other languages wish to replace there language codes with the equivalent abbreviation in their own language, I'm sure no-one will mind. (lwm.wikipedia.org for "le web mondial", peut-être?)
I don't really agree with this argument. 'www' is known worldwide as the indicator for the 'main' website of any organization. So although 'www' has its roots in English, it's really quite general.
