Chris,

Putting on marketing hat:

While branding is important, unlike other projects the shortened version of 
our name is still distinctive and unique ... "Postgres" is unlikely to be 
mistaken for anything else.  

So we should use "PostgreSQL" whenever we can remember, and correct the 
abbreviated form where we see it in the documentation, but it's probably not 
worth a global search-and-replace in the docs.
