In general, IMO, no, an acronym should be a word in the camel-case context.
The last letter of an all caps acronym merges with the first letter of the
next word. Worse still is the case where more than one acronym follow each
other.

IMO, this is horrendous:

IBMXMLDOMToSAXConverter

This is much better:

IbmXmlDomToSaxConverter

When I see CSVParser, I see "CSVP" and then have to tease out that the last
letter of is really the first letter of the next word. Lame.

That my opinion of course and the guideline we have at work.
