would reflect the fact that the community pushes hard to use
AtomPP as the default name of the protocol rather than "app".

Sadly, I don’t think such consensus exists. Most people keep
calling it APP, despite the drawbacks. There are a number of
advocates who’ve picked up the AtomPP coinage, but it’s not
exactly universal. This isn’t surprising; the spec pushes “APP”
throughout and a lot of people therefore stick with that.

I thought the spec reflected consensus rather than pushed an acronym. Editing that is not a big deal, assuming people can agree what the abbreviation should be.
