Since Cougar is experimental, is there any chance we could
get acronym back in there?
It would be helpful because:
1. It would give the author a hook for assigning
styles to acronyms using a shorter (and maybe more
meaningful) means than <span class=acronym>.
2. It would allow HTML to be written in a way that
would be more accessible to speech-enabled browsers.
For example, "NPS" would be pronounced "en Pea ess",
not "nips"
If Acronym isn't likely to get in there, would someone
from W3C please make a statement on that, so I can
take it out of my documents now. I put it in over a
year ago to make my pages more accessible those of
limited vision -- CYA for future equal-access-to
-government-facilities plans.
