HTML5 spec suggests the style of abbr and acronym is:
abbr[title], acronym[title] { text-decoration: dotted underline; }

However, we still use:
abbr[title], acronym[title] { border-block-end: dotted 1px; }
Our style has trouble with some fonts which have large internal leading
and/or external leading (e.g., Meiryo, new Japanese font on Windows Vista or
later). With such fonts, the border-bottom is rendered too far from the
glyphs and may overlap with the next line.
Therefore, we should use the suggested style.
Agreed. The dotted border was used originally to fake that kind of
text-decoration effect, so now that we have the actual desired
feature/effect, we should use it.
Blink uses same style as our current style. IE doesn't have any special
style for them (i.e., rendered like simple span).
Note also that CSS3 Text Decoration (non-normatively) specifies that
updated styling of abbr and acronym:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-decor-3/#default-stylesheet
Thus we can cite that as well for our change.
Thanks,
