I read this on a review of WCAG.

"The minor drawback is that in the examples provided, they define KISS
(Keep is Simple Stupid) as an initialism, despite the fact it's
pronounced as a word, and WWW (World Wide Web) as an acronym when
no-one in their right minds would try to pronounce it as a word."

Proposed Change:
Find a different initialism and Acronym... Make KISS the Acronym. in
Example 3,4 of H28

Thank you for pointing out the inconsistency. We have change the title
of example 3 to "Using the acronym element to expand an acronym", and
the title of example 4 to: "Using the acronym element to expand an
initialism".
