I know some folks oppose the xhtml 2 plan to get rid of <acronym>, but are two tags really necessary? I think more useful would be an attribute to <abbr> that indicates to user agents whether the abbreviation is meant to be spoken as initials or as a word. There could be an additional optional attribute for some other pronunciation: <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium" type="initial">W3C</abbr> <abbr title="Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart" type="word">CAPCHA</abbr> <abbr title="Structured Query Language" type="custom" pronounce="sequel">SQL</abbr> Dan Connolly wrote: > I'm sorta hoping the brainstorming exercise will show > what WG participants are most interested in working on. > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007JanMar/0045.html
