A lot of indie Web authors use acronym and abbr. I just did a check in BBEdit: 1,700 uses of acronym and 700 of abbr on my own sites. Let's divide by three to take into account duplicates, backups, etc., but it's still a lot. I am not at all unusual in such usage among indie Web developers-- I know people who are an order of magnitude more promiscuous in such usage than I am (<http://www.saila.com/columns/lcky/>, for example). Just don't expect to find nice compliant elements like this on dog's-breakfast commercial sites. Horses for courses, as I believe the British say. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book>
