(@Alexander -- 'XML' complies with an acronym; take e.g. 'Wisc.' as an
abbreviation.)

Seems like a reasonable suggestion, assuming multiple acronym or abbrevation
explanations per page (it's something I often have to deal with). It's
useful to increase a Web site's benefit and Accessibility by encouraging
publishers to use these elements consequently (and by the way offering a decreased
site weight -- the less code, the less time to load).

Maybe the WAI WG has some thoughts on it, too.


Best regards,
