Are there Objective-C / Cocoa naming conventions for properties that are acronyms?

Question

I have an object that simulates an online resource. Therefore, my object must store the URL of the resource to which it belongs. What to call getter and setter?

MyObject *myObject = [[MyObject alloc] init];

// Set values
[myObject setURL:url];
myObject.URL = url;

// Get values
[myObject URL];
myObject.URL;

or it will be better:

MyObject *myObject = [[MyObject alloc] init];

// Set values
[myObject setURL:url];
myObject.URL = url;

// Get values
[myObject URL];
myObject.URL;

In the first example, of course, you will need to define a property as follows:

@property (retain, getter = URL, setter = setURL:) NSURL *url;
