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

Hello Shawn and all,

I agree with a short title, if possible, and not too complicated acronyms.
MWBP is difficult for me to remember : I always have to think of the 
words that build this acronym to remember each letter of this acronym. 
WCAG was difficult at the beginning, but I got used to it.
I like the short simple title : "How Mobile Web and Web accessibility 
overlap".
What about an acronym for the words : Mobile Web and Web Accessibility", 
cutting one Web would then be : Mobile Web Accessibility, that is MoWebacc.
The Web being the bridge between Mobile and Accessibility ?
Best
