In 3e, they eventually got to a point where the abbreviations were confusing or conflicting. (Uniform three-letter abbreviations might avoid the problem, but e23 could create unique challenges.) There might also be something about assembling the abbreviations list for each book (used to be a sidebar for 3e books).
