I guess the proper way to do it would be to use "FO2" when talking about a
mixture of gas in a scuba tank or rebreather loop, and "FiO2" when
talking about gas that is inspired into the lungs, but then it might start
getting more complicated than it needs to be. A glossary of proper and
bastardized terms in a FAQ file would be a good idea.
