In the HTML 4 specification I can find no requirement that abbr should be underlined and/or that the title should be visible on hover. This behaviour is merely inconsistent with Internet Explorer's support for acronym, but is not in conflict with the specification. So what is the real evidence for saying that IE6 does not support abbr, if such evidence does indeed exist? Does it mean that certain information is not in the DOM? That screen readers can't access the title attribute of abbr because of lacking support in IE (not the screen reader!)? (When Microsoft says that they are going to add support for abbr to IE7, does that mean anything else than making it consistent with support for acronym?)
