RE: Words used in a restricted way (was RE: proposed new definitions for abbreviation and acronym)

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." ?
This let to have both acronym, abbr, dfn.

    Oggetto: Words used in a restricted way (was RE: proposed new definitions for abbreviation and acronym)
      Becky, then Roberto:
    
    <blockquote>
      In addition we need to determine 
        if all instances of "a word used in a restricted manner" must be
    marked or 
        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>.
