<upd_refs>The ジェー version is favored by all the refs despite being far less frequent in the n-gram counts and web hits.

<upd_detl>Maybe. A JMdictDB search for readings containing the character "・" pulls up a lot of them, though.

<upd_detl>I'm planning to raise an issue about this on GitHub. I'm going to suggest that we copy GG5's approach and have only a single visible reading – *with* nakaguro – for all non-[uk] acronyms. The nakaguro-less forms would be search-only (as would readings that contain variant pronunciations of letters). I've made an edit to show what this would look like on this entry.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I had started a response to this thread, not noticing this one from Robin (the order being changed.) I think the suggested approach is sound. I'm keen to get the more common nakaguro versions searchable.
I'll approve this and reopen it.</upd_detl>
