RE: abbr/acronym - repetitive use

I am told Mozilla also does this. Although for the last few years many screen
reader makers have worked closely with IE, there is now a major project to
ensure good compatibility between a number of screen readers (and other
assistive technologies) and Mozilla, and work has also been done for other
browsers.

  In each case, they visually identify the element (Amaya through style sheet,
  iCab by default). With iCab, a mouseover will cause the value of the title
  attribute to be displayed in the status bar, with Amaya I can query for the
  value with a couple of keystrokes.
