I agree. Some days ago i've posted a <dfn> example. What about: "a word used in a restricted manner must be marked and explained for only the first occurrence." ?

Thanks for your input. Roberto: I think that we should mark all the occurrences and expand (with title attributes) the first one. </blockquote> Using the title attribute could be one sufficient technique for providing definitions of words (other than abbreviations, acronyms, or initialisms) used in a restricted way, but Team B has discussed other techniques as well. Examples include using the <dfn> element, linking to a definition in a glossary that's part of the same delivery unit, using <link rel="glossary">, etc. If we accept the proposal to combine GL 3.1 L3 SC2 (words used in a restricted way) with GL 3.1 L3 SC3 (abbreviations), then (as Becky pointed out last week) the Guide for the combined SC will need techniques for *both* words used in a restricted way (such as the usage of "text" in WCAG 2.0) *and* techniques for abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms. Of course, the techniques for identifying abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms will be pretty simple if we're going to recommend <abbr> for all three<grin>.
