When there are special rules of capitalization, it's a bit easier to type &dtrace; than spend a bit of time to grep through the docs to look for ``established tradition''. I would probably prefer something like a &dtrace; entity. If it is a registered symbol or a trademark of Sun, it may even make sense to add it to `doc/share/trademarks.ent' to take advantage of the DSSSL-magic that add a (TM) marker to the first instance of the "DTrace™" string.
