Hi Russel, I think it's pretty clear if you look at the differences between the definition of abbreviate and acronym... I guess you can use your own judgement and then http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#h-9.2.1 ABBR: Indicates an abbreviated form (e.g., WWW, HTTP, URI, Mass., etc.). ACRONYM: Indicates an acronym (e.g., WAC, radar, etc.). The specs go into more detail with some examples of ABBR and ACRONYM at the URL above. Maybe <INIT> for initaliasm should be added for clarity =) Later, Lawrence -----Original Message----- From: Russell Steven Shawn O'Connor <roconnor@wronski.math.uwaterloo.ca> To: www-html@w3.org <www-html@w3.org> Date: February 13, 1998 5:04 PM Subject: ABBR vs ACRONYM >I'm a little unsure of when to use ABBR and when to use ACRONYM.
