Techniques that use the acronym element ACTION-262

I took an action to see if techniques use the <acronym> element that 
should perhaps be removed since HTML 5 has removed it in favor of 
<abbr>. I see it in the following techniques:

G138 (this lists other HTML 4-specific elements, perhaps we want all 
HTML 4 references updated?)
H49 (also in a list of HTML 4-specific elements)
H86

Note there are other techniques that reference acronyms without 
referencing the <acronym> element specifically. Some of those we 
probably want to keep as is, because the concept of "acronym" hasn't 
gone away just because HTML has snuffed it. But some perhaps would want 
to remove that for fear it would steer authors into using <acronym>. 
These include:

G102
G62
G70
G97
H28 (which is the technique that provoked all this, and has removed the 
<acronym> element but not the use of the term - if that is the model 
then the rest of the techniques may here need no change)
H62
PDF8 (though this arguably should not be impacted by HTML 5 changes)
