Sethf is right on the money. Remember how I said that 350 pages of “pornography” that everyone is always telling us about, belong to me, thanks to N2H2 and their stupid overblocking? This is something like that, only it’s the lawyers talking, look out!

acronym tag, use it

Speaking of accessibility, this is an aside to all you code jockeys. Mouseover OITP in the previous post. On most, if not all, current browsers, the full title for the acronym will show up as a tooltip, even in my aggregator.

Easy code:

<acronym title="Office for Information Technology Policy">OITP</acronym>
