Excellent. Bonus points for Bill! I'm having trouble following this thread, but I'm always happy to see specific detailed test cases. If there's a specific proposal somebody has about abbreviations, it would help me if they would say how it interacts with the examples that Bill gave. It might be worth starting a new thread, as this one is getting worn out. e.g. if somebody is proposing to get rid <abbr />, that suggest that validating/checking tools should give a thumbs-down to http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007JanMar/att-0325/abbr_en-us_fr_title.html If we were designing HTML from scratch, I'd probably argue that we should choose between abbr and acronym. But we're not designing from scratch; they're both deployed. Google says there are "about 1,260,000" pages that mention abbr, acronym and tag. I suppose some of those are not about HTML, but at least the first couple screen-fulls are. So anybody who wants to get rid of one of them should think through all the consequences and tell us why that's worth doing. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
