Okay - I was implementing this warning, and a side issue arose (shocking, I know). We use @title on abbr and acronym to provide an expanded title for all matching abbr and acronyms. Which is great. When this appear in a dfn, the dfn also inherits their @title (e.g., <dfn><abbr title="My Long Term">MLT</abbr></dfn>). I feel like this is a correct use of @title, and therefore should not require a warning. I also feel like if people want to have aliases for this, they should do it using @lt on the dfn element. Any objections to encouraging that behavior in the documentation? On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 10:58 AM, Shane McCarron <shane@aptest.com> wrote: > Yeah - I didn't mean tip-of-tree.
