[TECHS] Draft of combined Abbreviation and Acronym HTML Technique

At the last team b meeting I took an action item to combine the abbr and 
acronym HTML techniques into one.  A draft is attached.  I added 
information about acronyms and initialisms and suggested using the acronym 
elements for these items in HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and XHTML 1.1.  I also 
added user agent information about IE, JAWS, WindowEyes and Home Page 
Reader.  I did not include information about Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera 
since they do support these elements.  I'm not sure if we should include 
information about JAWS, WindowEyes and Home Page Reader since they also 
properly support both acronym and abbr.
