The "why called tOR" article says,
"/Note: even though it originally *came from an acronym,* Tor is not 
spelled "TOR"/.
And why would that be?  Other than in a kind of, "I'd now like to be 
known as _The Artist Formerly Known As Prince_" sort of way, who made up 
the rule that an acronym would have only the first letter capitalized?
Even HAL 9000 - an "almost alive" computer - used all caps for an 
acronym. :-;

Did "they" consider it alive, so Tor is a proper noun, 1st & only name 
(like Sting)?
If it's an acronym, it's supposed to be all caps (rarely, all lower 
case).  I doubt most people (not suffering from something) really care 
if it's Tor, TOR, tOR, tOr...

And newer people coming in may think it a bit strange to make a serious 
point, to not spelling it correctly, per widely accepted, international 
convention. :D
My name's not Joe, it's jOe.  On rEmUlak, only interior vowels in proper 
nouns are capitalized.  The Tor spelling issue sort of reminds me of 
_The Anal Retentive Chef_ sketch (phiLL harTMan), on Sat. Night Live.
