I refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1 A user in a norwegian html newsgroup asked a question about how he should decide between using ABBR and ACRONYM. It appears to me that the examples in the spec are correct (though the spanish example is peculiar), but the prose is confusing acronyms and abbreviations. The reason may of course be that a number of dictionaries doesn't have a good entry for acronym. (I had to look up in Encyclopedia Americana to find a good explanation.) I guess you should consider to clarify the standard on this topic. -- Håkon Styri Research Manager Project I Telenor R&D
