Meanwhile, the house style at the NYT is to use periods between each letter of an acronym in certain cases, e.g. W.H.O., D.O.D, and U.N., but not NASA for some reason.
I've had to occasionally append to existing texts that use the period between each letter style, and I have to say, it's incredibly annoying to physically type.
