Hi Jackie, To the best of my knowledge, you would only use Acronym if the visible text read VDS - the user can only see the acronym, so the <acronym> tag allows them to mouse-over it and see what it stands for in case they aren't familiar with it.
If you are displaying the full name, then I think you are correct in saying that the <acronym> tag is unnecessary. Cheers, Seona.
