RE: Mnemonic, acronym, name or handle for Mobile Web document

Hello,

I'm wondering if it needs an acronym as well. I always acronyms with
standards or best practice guidelines but not with other documents.  I'm
finding the use of WAC a little confusing as well as I muddle it with
Web Access Centre (WAC) which is how my team is referred to and our
online presence on the RNIB site...but that will just be me!

While acronyms can be helpful, they can also act as a barrier to
understanding... they become inside baseball jargon. I'm just weary of
this important concept getting lost in one more acronym that people
would have to learn and remember.

I liked Liam's suggestions, so how about incorporating Guidelines like
this:

MOGWAC for Mobile Guidelines for Web Accessibility
