[Foundation] "Jabber" name again

[Shawn Wilton]

The best solution to this would be to make JSF an acronym no more and 
merely make it the name.  IBM use to stand for International Business 
Machines, not IBM, is JUST IBM.  I propose we do the same for JSF. 

If the argument is that journalists are idiots, then fine.  Make that 
your argument, but at the same time realize that all the hard work being 
done in this foundation is doing more to promote a company I've come to 
despise than it is to promote a foundation I've come to love.
