Toms Hardware has some interesting comments in their Hot Microprocessor News post. Speculations that AMD may go back to a PR rating are indicated. Here's a snip:
The next Athlon, which besides still remains nameless (It won't be 'Athlon4', but it may be 'AthlonXP'), will use the 'Palomino' core, as we all know. The 'Palomino' core is currently available as 'AthlonMP' in SMP configurations and as 'Mobile Athlon4' in notebooks. Its launch as normal desktop processor has been expected for weeks now, but we will have to wait a bit longer, since AMD found some issues with Palomino running at 133 MHz (266 MHz DDR) FSB on many motherboards, specifically on those with VIA north bridges.

No! Not the PR rating. There has got to be a better way to describe their processors without using Pentium 4 equivelents.
It's hard enough to keep track of different FSB rated Athlons yet alone PR ratings.

It doesn't bother me, as long as they clearly print the real speed. Still, it's funky...
