Aardvark,

While it works, there's no visual cue to the reader that he can hover his 
mouse there and get an explanation.

How about if we styled the <acronym> tag like this:

         CURSOR: help;
         BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px dotted

(Found this on some web site but forgot the URL)

It's a real bummer that IE doesn't show a tooltip for <abbr>. Let's stick 
to <acronym> then and ignore the semantic difference, eh?
