> [snip] ACRONYM and ABBR I take a fairly simplistic view on this one:
1) Future standards only include ABBR. 2) Acronyms are a form of abbreviation. 3) For the sake of good writing, you should spell out the full term on first use anyway. That covers bad browsers, too. ....so, I just use ABBR for anything which is a shorter form of another term or phrase. Obviously people don't usually spell out all acronyms, even though we really should. For specific industry terms it would get tedious; so a bit of discretion is good. Write for your audience and so on. h -- --- <http://www.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
