https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.2/acronym.html suggests docbook formatters
either ignore that <acronym> or use it as a signal to substitute small caps.
I don't consider small caps an improvement for "SQL", so I'd prefer to never
use <acronym>SQL</acronym>. <acronym> also makes the markup longer (though
one could mitigate that with an entity like &SQL). However, standardizing on
either way is better than varying within the manual.
