I use <abbrev> in conjunction with biblio elements. In my oppinion, it
is not intended as standalone.

Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: abbrev - missing possibility to add the meaning
of an abbreviation
Hi,
I couldn't find any other docbook element for abbreviations than the
abbrev element.
But I find that this element only denotes the fact that a sequence of
characters is an abbreviation, and cannot explain what that abbreviation
means. idem for the acronym element.
I was missing an attribute for the purpose of adding the <abbr
title="etcetera">etc.</abbr> tags in an html output, that would make the
page accessibility compliant.
Is there another way to have the same result and (here comes th�
question) are there any chances to update docbook with this feature.
cheers,
vincent mouton
