The current acronym is old enough to drink. The original acronym, AFAICT looking through The Wayback Machine, lasted less than a year. (The original language was pretty wildly different, and much closer to a markup language.)
For those that don't want to wait for the time capsule, here is the earliest example of it (I've shortened it from the original for brevity; best I can gather this should also have been valid):
<timesheet.clarkevans.com:record>
<person:record>
<id:int>
293945</id:int>
<name:record>
<given>
Clark</given>
<family>
Evans</family></name:record></person:record>
</timesheet.clarkevans.com:record>
You can feel the XML influence.
Oddly it kept the "Another" well into the evolution of not being a markup language anymore, but on the grand scale of things, didn't really keep it that long.
