Correct me if I am wrong, but without this fix, most users will never
see the full form of the abbreviation. That seems like a little more
than just styling to me.

I think this is a misunderstanding. I'm saying that, prior to this whole
conversation, the use of abbreviations relies on styling to govern how
the full form is displayed. What Thierry is suggesting is use of the
abbreviation element by script to modify the content - but without this
(say, upon the javascript degrading - and by degrading gracefully, we
mean being removed without crippling the site) you have to rely on
styling to get your abbreviations effective.
Generally, people give abbreviations a dotted bottom border and make the
full form available as a tool-tip upon mouse-over.
