Accept Tau on AP tests

On 1/2 Tau day I would like to bring up the issue that college board refuses to accept tau as a standard constant, meaning 6.283185307.... While they allow you to define tau as 2 pi, they warn that this could lead to graders taking away points if they miss the definition. This would be a big victory to getting tau to be accepted. Currently,  some teachers do not allow students to use this notation because of this problem.
