Pretty bad idea to redefine $charseq$'s rendering since it is used for many
elements, not just uppercase-words (as I see in dbinline.dsl). So I defined
in dbprint.dsl (and reference it in dbinline.dsl, line 116 for acronyms):
(define ($charseq-smaller$ #!optional (sosofo (process-children)))
(make sequence
font-size: (* (inherited-font-size) 0.975)
sosofo))
