URGENT - please respond if you *do not* want the updated proposed definitions of acronym and abbreviation to go to the WCAG WG for today's discussion

Thank you for the quick turn-around.  These look good to me.

>abbreviation -The shortened form of a word.  For example, "est." may be
>the abbreviation for the English words "established" or "estimate."  "Cie"
>is the abbreviation for the French word "compagnie" (company).
>
>acronym - A word made from the initial letters of a name that contains
>several words.  For example, NOAA is a word made from the initial letters
>of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United
>States. SNCF is a French acronym that contains the initial letters of the
>Societe National des Chemins de Fer, the French national railroad.   All
>acronyms are abbreviations.
>
>Note: Some English language  sources require that acronyms form a word
>that is spoken as syllables while others accept any grouping of the
>initial letters of words as an acronym.  WCAG 2.0 uses the latter, less
>restrictive definition.

Does anyone *not* want these discussed at today's telecon?

Becky - I would wait until 2 pm Eastern (2 hours before the WCAG WG 
telecon) and if no one has objected, send these to the WCAG WG.

Thanks,
