I can't say that I've ever noticed that to be generally true, but I'll certainly be looking out for it now.

  The only time Brits capitalise the entire acronym is if we are worried about confusing Americans.

    Which is always, is it not?

  I don't think it is /generally/ true - it's certainly in a bunch of style guides (e.g. The Guardian says Nato) but not in others (e.g. Plain English Campaign says NATO). I'd be amazed if there was an actual grammatical "rule" about this, mind.
