What is the purpose in deprecating and/or removing the duality in <acronym> / <abbr> if we replace it with a type attribute ? All that we will achieve will be broken compatibility : no simplification and no new meaning. What was the use case in removing <acronym> ? - If was is for simplification, then it seems to me that two simple tags are simplier than a tag with two values in an attribute. This is especially true if the two tags exists since many years - If was is because people used to ignore one of the two tags, please consider that they will not do more effort in writing a new attribute and this addition will be useless <acronym> is not broken, either leave it or remove it but write in a new way is definitely not needed IMHO. -- Éric Daspet
