The system name might be an acronym — this would be its expansion.

Yes, though this isn't enforced at the time.

Although, it isn't clear yet how source-control may or may not specify
the VCS used:
should we prefix the URL with a git: or svn: or darcs: or some such? ASDF uses:
  :source-control (:git "git://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git")
