I shudder at the amount of meeting time we are likely to spend on this topic next week…
Kent has a presentation for next week and has been gathering input over the last few months so we can hopefully make a decision after that.
With regards to your proposal below, I can see the syllable-efficiency of what you are proposing but worried it has little meaning. I’d actually been assuming we’d be writing documentation with XXVAUI format for consistency but people would verbally use
the “25-G-AUI” pronunciation for clarity of meaning.

All,
On the subject of how to pronounce XXVAUI... For consistency, I think it should be pronounced Zih-Vow-ee. The first X is pronounced Z as its done in XAUI and the second is silent. This is clean and three contiguous syllables versus "X X Vow-ee" which is three separate terms in sequence and sounds stuttered or "Twenty-Five-Gig-Ow-ee" which is completely inconsistent with precedent. The only possible point of confusion for my proposal would be if we ever produced a 15G spec, which I think is low risk. I hope this makes sense to everyone. |
