Maybe I'm being pedantic or have drunk too much coffee, but "clk" (clock 
rate, _expressed_ in Hz) is better than "speed" IMHO.  "bps" (bits per 
second) is another alternative, although it has its own problems if the 
data rate is different when sending "0" bits vs. "1" bits (e.g. 1-wire).

Best regards,
