Not to disagree, but when I see DSL (and other acronyms of its ilk) I treat it the same as any other homonym. In fact, when I read in general I read the whole sentence and parse it all together and not on a word by word basis. I thought most people read this way so that they are more resilient to typos and other small errors. So if they simply do not recognize the term DSL->Domain Specific Language acronym, readers simply mentally flag it as a possible typo/other error instead of confusing the telecom notion with the um.. trendy ruby-world? term.
