In my opinion, a more useful solution is to offer some form of

I don't see why just having the title="" attribute isn't enough.
I've added a note to the spec that says that authors shouldn't expect a UA
to expand abbreviations just based on earlier <abbr> elements with the
same contents.
Perhaps a silly idea: what if abbreviations could work as an img-map
couple? That is, i.e., an <abbr> without a title could avail of a, let's
say, 'ref' attribute indicating the id of a previous <abbr> element with
a title, and the former could be 'self-closing' (i.e. <abbr ref="#foo"
/>), so by default the UA would substitute it with the referenced
element content (the unexpanded abbreviation), and, at the user will
(when he/she clics on the abbreviation, or just stops the pointer, or
navigates to the abbreviation, or according to any setting in the
browser options) the abbreviation is expanded. (I guess the above won't
be agreed because of backward compatibility, though)
