What's the problem with the original markup?  I don't actually see any
difference -- in the original, \UNIX is in a group and in the new the
group is empty -- and at least the HTML output looks correct (see
http://docs.python.org/ref/programs.html).

Actually, I suspect the {} is unnecessary in this case because in
"\UNIX,", the comma would indicate the end of the macro.  The group
would only be needed if the macro was followed by a space, as in "The
\UNIX{} operating system".
