In English anyway, acronyms are a specialized sort of abbreviation, wherein the acronym is composed of initial letters of the words in a multiword phrase. The spec seems to have been written by folks who were not clear on that. Evolt has an article on this, too.[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/text.html#edef-ABBR http://evolt.org/article/HTML_is_not_an_acronym/17/35750/index.html -- Maximillian Von Schwanekamp http://www.neptunewebworks.com/
