Evangelising random number generators!? I know folk misuse them, but...
...oh, I see what you mean! Perhaps `RNG' isn't the best abbreviation.
This isn't just a complaint from a fogey who still thinks that `asp'
expands to Amsterdam SGML Parser: anyone who isn't a hard-core xml-dev
reader will almost certainly automatically expand RNG to its older
definition, if they expand it at all; and explaining why they
shouldn't would probably be distracting rather than anything else.
All the best,
Norman
