I think that's a recent shift; it was spelled out in the old days.

I clearly remember having heard "zool" and "zibble" in the early 2000s. I only heard "zippy" (xpi) recently, though.

I remember hearing zool/XUL and zippy/XPI in the Netscape days, but never heard zibble/XBL until recently except maybe as a joke pronunciation.

IIRC, Brian King was saying zibble for XBL back in 2003
