Well, fully automated insertion of <abbr> is tricky yes, but there are ways to automate the process in a correct way. With [PHP Markdown Extra][1] for instance, you can define an abbreviation somewhere in the document and have it applied to each instance of this word through the document. Since abbreviations are defined on a per-document basis, presumably by the author, chances are they'll be all correct.
