http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12471 Summary: Please consider changing the expected rendering of abbr[title] and acronym[title] to use border-bottom instead of text-decoration: dotted underline, which has much more limited support (being in CSS3 Text, not CSS 2.1), conflicts with existing browser def Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#pun ctuation-and-decorations OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: contributor@whatwg.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/rendering.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#punctuation-and-decorations Comment: Please consider changing the expected rendering of abbr[title] and acronym[title] to use border-bottom instead of text-decoration: dotted underline, which has much more limited support (being in CSS3 Text, not CSS 2.1), conflicts with existing browser defaults, and tends to disturb character shapes when there are descenders. If the currently suggested rendering is implemented, many pages will have both bottom border and dotted underline (effectively, double underline), as authors have specified border-bottom to achieve better consistency across browsers (IE does not show border bottom or underline of any kind by default, even in IE 9).
