Hello again,
since no one has replied: should I be asking this question somewhere else?
I have also searched the archives, but have not found any relevant info.
One thread in Nov.2006 dealt with the usefulness of acronyms
(personally, I really need these to meet accessibility requirements!),
but unfortunately did not mention how to include their expansions in
docBook.
So thanks for any pointers on how to go about finding a solution to this!

Hello list!
1. I'm a bit insecure on how to mark up inline acronyms &
abbbreviations in docBook.
Coming from XHTML, I was expecting an attribute that can contain their
written-out counterparts, somewhat like
<abbr title="United Nations">UN</abbr>
but cannot find a similar mechanism in the docBook 5 online reference.
Is there any "standard" way of including this essential information?
Or should we do something like
<abbreviation>UN<phrase>United Nations</phrase></abbreviation>
and let XSL transformation deal with the <phrase/> (or is another
element semantically more adequate?), either setting it in parentheses
inline, creating a linked list of glossary terms at the end of the
text (e.g. for PDF output) or transforming into HTML attributes in
HTML output?
2. Is there an element that is suited for inline definitions (I
haven't found any obvious choice and am quite lost on how to get this
done...)?
Thanks for any thoughts on this!
