Hi there, Abbrev mode has been seamlessly integrated into Emacs. In fact, any mode defined with define-derived-mode will automatically have its own abbrev-table in effect. The tex-mode.el which is bundled with Emacs takes advantage of this. AUCTeX, on the other hand, does not (maybe because the original tex-mode file that AUCTeX based on didn't have that). In this respect AUCTeX is inferior to tex-mode.el.
At the moment most modes (which shadow modes from tex-mode.el) defined in AUCTeX share abbrev tables with for example text mode and this is far from optimal. It's a great loss of productivity. Although a user level solution isn't difficult to find, I think it might be worthwhile letting the developers know about this so that it can be resolved at the package level.
