    Maybe we should just claim that we can't spell very well; ISV = "Third
    Party Developer".  A whole new kind of a10n[1].  ;-)

We can't solve the problem by denying it.

    We use the term interchangably with 'third party developers', and have made
    that explicit in many cases when we talk about it. OOo and Firefox also fit
    into this world view as 'third party developers' or ISVs.

The term "third party developers" has no problems--so I think that is
a good solution.  If we abbreviate it "TPD", that problem will be gone.

It's a painless change to make.
