It would be VERY helpful to the editors (or at least this one) if Pace

That reminds me ... what does "pace" *mean*, anyway?  "contrary to the
opinion of"?  "with due respect to"?

Originally, I was searching for an acronym. One that perhaps combined words like Proposal, Atom, Change, Enhancement. In the process I found a word that connoted forward motion[1], consensus[2], and peace[3].
