Acronyms and abbreviations with Jaws

All:
Shadi and I had an action item:

http://www.w3.org/2009/04/29-er-minutes.html#action01]

to explore the treatment of the <acronym> and <abbr> elements by Jaws. It 
turns out that the text content of these elements is read by deefault but 
that, by entering the Verbosity panel in Jaws (INS+V) and selecting both 
Abbreviations Expand and Acronyms Expand, Jaws will, in fact, read the 
title attributes in the <abbr> or <acronym> elements rather than the text 
content of those elements. Examples of this usage can be found at:
