I have seen that but I would prefer to stay away from that approach because
it relies on enumerating journals (the IEEEtran package only defines strings
for IEEE journals).

In my documents I am currently just running the journals and conferences
through a rather large string.gsub which performs the substitutions.
Though I understand it is also not ideal to run each bibliography entry
through a set of ~370 substitutions on every compilation on large
bibliographies.
The words
  "If an abbreviation is not included and cannot be abbreviated according to
the general guidelines above, please spell out the word."
made me think a clean automated solution would be easy but perhaps the best
solution is for this style to follow all others and consider abbreviations
out-of-scope.
