Citing the NRSV updated edition

Now that the updated edition of the NRSV has been out for a while, I'm starting to see it cited. But, How do you cite it? I've seen NRSVUE (all caps) and NRSVue. But the real question, for me anyway, because I mainly edit for publishers who use as their foundation style sheet SBLHS2, is: What does SBL recommend?

I emailed them and they responded that they were following the National Council of Churches (the body that owns the translation) recommendation: NRSVue (no superscript).

Ironic, isn't it, that the recommended way is the one I have hardly ever seen.
