I really dislike the capitalization in the output.

I think using the lowercased form when referring to Nmap's output but using
the capitalized form when talking about the actual protocol is fine (and the
best option I can see).  I would also prefer the idea of using all lowercase
in the book to capitalization in Nmap's output if you want to pick between
these other ideas.

I concur with Kris, the lowercase acronyms - while grammatically
incorrect - look nicer. Though I may be biased because I'm so used to
the service names always being lowercase. And technically speaking,
wouldn't TCP would have to be capitalized as well?

Cheers,
Michael
