I believe there was also a discussion many years ago also about the different definitions from non-U.S. and non-English dictionaries - and hence both ABBR and ACRONYM were kept. (probably a good bit of trivia) But as many have pointed out - who cares if the mark-up has the same effect. We should focus on what mark-up is needed and why the present spec isn't sufficient. For example, nesting abbreviations/acronyms is perhaps a legitimate request. Today in HTML 4, attributes cannot contain mark-up, not sure about XHTML 2 Regards, Phill Jenkins IBM Research Division - Accessibility Center http://www.ibm.com/able
