The word us6uwana is simply inaccurate. One of the things we have recommended in the past is to use the common popular law. That is to say, if a word is very commonly known as "CD" (even in Arabic, people say "SeeDee") the it should be transliterated instead. I guess this is not something that has had a ruling on since the QAC's inception. Regards, Mohammed Elzubeir
