Hi

Whilst guidelines call for <abbr></abbr> to be used on the first
occurrence of an abbreviation, I have always tended to use it on all
occurrences, to save the reader having to go back to look for the
definition, should they forget it.

What are others thoughts on this - use once, or use many?

Cheers

M
