Colleagues: The rule says that the first use of an acronym should be expanded. The usual approach is the <abbr>. But, how thorough should we be in this? The first three in our document are WCAG, HTML, and CSS, and they occur in the Abstract. The next three are W3C, URL, and URI occuring in our diagram text. Should we really spell out hyper-text markup language and cascading style sheets? And similarly World Wide Web Consortium? Guidance, please! -- Janina Sajka (she/her/hers) Accessibility Consultant https://linkedin.com/in/jsajka The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Co-Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa Linux Foundation Fellow https://www.linuxfoundation.org/board-of-directors-2/
