No, no, no! That's nearly as ugly as script or gothic caps for a typographer!
If you got no real "small caps" (that is, an extra font) you should use
an other method of emphasizing.
Real small caps have the size of the lowercase letters, and good
uppercase letters are bit smaller than the upperlengths of the
lowercase (there are your "medium caps").
A frequent error of "modern" fonts is, that their uppercase letters are
too big - and look ugly if you use more than one at a time.
You're right using small caps for abbreviations -- good typographers try
to do so -- but medium caps are not "needed", only because real small
caps are unusual nowadays!

Here you're right, I think.
