Status: Rejected
Change Description: No change.
Rationale: As Ian explained in
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17907#c1 it "turns out
that in practice this is mostly handled by dictionaries, and there ends
up not being a need for there to be an explicit type on acronyms. For
the cases where there is a need, I recommend using the speech CSS
controls as you mention. (Note that pronunciations vary. e.g. "SQL" is
pronounced as "sequel" by some people, and "ess queue elle" by others.)"
