From: "David Dorward"
Then I think it is a screen-reader issue as I believe there is no point
to
have this as default setting since documents are supposed to contain the
expansion in plain text already...
"Specify the expansion of each abbreviation or acronym in a document
where
it first occurs. [Priority 3]"
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-TECHS/#tech-expand-abbr
(a) Those are guidelines which are designed (among other things) to work
around limitations in user agents
and
(b) It doesn't say "in plain text", and the example given uses the title
attribute:
Wow! This is very interesting. I didn't check that example before; because
the way I understood the recommendation made complete sense "to me".
Use the title attribute to indicate the expansion and specificy the
expansion in plain text when it first occurs But looking at this example,
it seems that "plain text" is not part of the picture at all (why?). And
also, *why* using "specify" and then "indicate" in almost the same sentance,
like if it was two different things? Just to confuse people? :)
Looking at it that way then it's a whole different story and I agree that it
means the title attribute should be part of the first occurence only.
As a side note, it shows that this makes sense re (a) as Nick mentionned the
issue with the repetition in the markup regarding default SR settings.
