I prefer a design which does not make the same element do two very different things. (yes, I don't like "<A NAME" much either). You should rather have a dedicated element for declaring ACRONYMs. You should also require them all to be somewhere easy to find. E.g. in the head or linked to from the head. And if you think it through, you might find that your acronym-defining and coralling elements could also be extended to be generalized dictionary/glossaries which would make them more powerful.

It isn't clear to me what your plan is for sharing acronyms between documents. Most browsers do not support textual sharing of HTML text. Is that part of your proposal or do you intend to use a feature from HTML 4.0 or SGML? Paul Prescod
