abbr is necessary. All the extra redundant information which is placed into the
TH cell such as sort controls is unnecessary, redundant and confusing when
navigating around a table in table mode of a screen reader.
If you remove this please provide a replacement which provides the same
functionality.
This technique already has good support in AT, now has support in future FF and
is in common use in HTML based web applications. We use this technique in
(amongst others) Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle Enterprise Manager, Siebel
Applications, Oracle E-Business Suite. You will find none of these pages when
you search the google cache as they are typically deployed behind firewalls so
any data you find on usage of abbr is misleading.
