[edit] Acetal vs Ketal

Although originally and technically, a "ketal" was derived from a ketone and an "acetal" was derived from an aldehyde, it appears that modern usage is "acetal" as a general term for both. IUPAC's 1993 nomenclature rules agree (p102). The case at hand could still correctly be termed a "ketal" but we're not trying to distinguish ketal vs acetal moieties here.
