Compression will help when a given acronym occurs repeatedly
in the same document.  Another approach would be to use
a LINK to a dictionary of acronyms, as has been suggested
for abbreviations.

Dictionaries in principle can also be used to associating
hypertext links with terms appearing in documents. This was
the subject of a talk at the recent Web conference (WWW6)
in San Jose.

How to get this deployed though ...?
