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)
