Comment LC-1175: definition of acronym

As I mentioned in the last editors' survey 
(http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/20060706editorz/results#x1175), the 
definition of acronym proposed in comment LC-1175 does not work: it covers 
abbreviations that are not acronyms (Mr in English, Me in French, Dr in 
English and Dutch, ...). For definitions of acronym, abbreviation and 
initialism, see the list I sent on 22 September 2005 at 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JulSep/att-0851/AbbreviationAcronym.html 
(and some comments in 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JulSep/0851.html).
If you think we need a more precise definition of acronym, you can assign 
me an action item.

Regards,

Christophe
