The abbreviation MSNP, as referring to the network protocol used by Windows Live Messenger and its ancestors, does not stand for "Mobile Status Notification Protocol", as stated here. It stands for "MS Notification Protocol", where the MS in turn stands for Microsoft. I know this because I was working on the project when this term was coined.

My plan is to rename this page and edit the MSNP redirect to point to the new title. The rename operation should create a new redirect page for "Mobile Status Notification Protocol" that points to the updated title. I'll also update the pages that refer to the old link to reduce the number of redirects.

I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so any suggestions or feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks.
