> Are you going to write out REST (REpresentational State Transfer) in every design document you put up on your company wiki for your team that describes one, just in case a non software engineer wants to read it?

No, because that's not disseminated to a broader community. If it were, I'm going to link a standardized reference document that defines the terms, like they do in RFCs.

Edit: Actually, even with such an "internal" document, my preference would be to overexplain rather than underexplain, and define an acronym (or neologism I had learn myself recently) before using it. REST is a special case though, in that defining out the acronym doesn't actually help explain how people use it.
