Thank you all for your Dependent LU Requester and Dependent LU Server
acronym suggestions (over 20 different acronyms were proposed).

1) The acronym for Dependent LU Requester will be DLUR (no surprise
   after the creation of the AIW DLUR SIG last week, and DLUR got a
   lot of support in the poll).

2) The acronym for Dependent LU Server will be DLUS (also got a lot
   of support).

3) The acronym for the Dependent LU Requester/Server function will be
   DLUR/S
          - DLUx got more support, but there were drawbacks (and I
            invented it so it wasn't easy for me to drop)
               a) our editor pointed out that we generically use
                  names such as DLUa, DLUb , ... , and DLUx could be
                  confusing
               b) DLUx is more vague, not conveying the requester/server
                  support

          - DLUS/R is closer to the current DLS/DLR and DLS/R terms in
            use, but
               a) more than one person pointed out the negative
                  pronunciation
               b) DLUR/S is ordered client/server, not server/client
                  like DLUS/R

          - DLUr/s was another possibility, but DLUs is already the
            plural of DLU, and also using it for the server would add
            confusion

Thanks again for your interest - I've got some acronyms to update.
