*Charles McCathieNevile*: > > <ruby class="acron"> > <rb>NATO</rb><rt>North Atlantic Treaty Organisation</rt></ruby>'s That's not really better than <acronym title="North Atlantic Treaty Organisation">NATO</acronym>'s. A UA should know to do the right thing when encountering <acronym>NATO</abbr>'s or <abbr>NATO</abbr>'s. Because a UA can never know all initialisms, acronyms and other abbreviations of every language, a author should be able to help it out---outside the mark-up. It's quite similar to automatic hyphenation.
