Hi Derek,

Are good reasons why DN, MN, SN, AN is better than using D, M, S, A? What
about Sutta Nipata, which has to have a longer abbreviation?

Perhaps those who set these standards might consider simplicity as a
priority rather than who sets the standards, but if there are very good
reasons for the new standard, we should consider them.

Sukhi.

P.
