Michael explains that "KJV" is what is - at least in missionary circles
- used for the ThaiKJV. So, yes, this is the intent for Abbreviation as
a user friendly option.

Certainly I can see that within the Latin script area there may well be
clashes for some modules - and we should simply not ever assume that
the Abbreviation entry will always be unique across all repos and all
modules in existence. 

It _must_ be unique for a user - and either the computer or the user
must be able to resolve clashes.

But we should neither assume uniqueness nor rely upon that until a
frontend has given for a particular moment the "all clear".
