I had an interesting conversation about this recently. Don't the abbr/
acronym defeat the purpose of abbr/acronyms for screen reader users? In
english abbrs should be expanded in full for the first occurance, and
thereafter only presented in the abbreviated form. Common abbreviations
should most probably not be marked up in any special way (e.g. radar,
nasa, html, css). abbr/acromyn elements might be handy hooks for
aural CSS styles one day.
I thought they already were handy hooks for aural CSS styles?
Do screen readers not see aural styles, eg. speak: spell-out ?
