You could mark up the first occurance as like this
<abbr title="As Far as I Know">AFAIK</abbr>
Then, later in the document, you could use it without the title attribute
<abbr>AFAIK</abbr>
and a UA could allow the user to discover the expansion. This idea is
already somewhat supported in the current draft, but requires that it
references the defining term of a previously marked up <dfn>, rather
than just another occurrence of the same abbreviation. IMHO, that part
of the spec needs fixing.
Would <dfn><abbr title="As Far as I Know">AFAIK</abbr></dfn> satisfy this?
No.
* It's inconvenient having to type an extra <dfn> element.
* You may not be defining the actual meaning of the term and,
* According to the current spec, <abbr>AFAIK</abbr> can refer to a <dfn>
who's *defining term* is "AFAIK", but in your example, the defining term
is "As Far as I Know".
