See HTML 4.01
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#edef-ABBR

Examples from the spec
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D
Here are some sample uses of ABBR:
   <P>
   <ABBR title=3D"World Wide Web">WWW</ABBR>
   <ABBR lang=3D"fr"
         title=3D"Soci&eacute;t&eacute; Nationale des Chemins de Fer">
      SNCF
   </ABBR>
   <ABBR lang=3D"es" title=3D"Do&ntilde;a">Do&ntilde;a</ABBR>
   <ABBR title=3D"Abbreviation">abbr.</ABBR>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D

You can add on the top of that for example, that you have in fact in=20
french, three different things

	abbreviation, acronyms and "sigle". I'm pretty sure in other =
languages=20
you must have very different models too.
