Everything or just some terms? I marked up the NIS in that chapter mainly because NFS was already done and it just wasn't consistent, then after I got to about the 30th occurrence and realized I wasn't nearly finished with the file I created the ⋼ entity. It would be really nice if we had some applications of all these <acronym> tags before spamming our SGML files with them. I think it would be really cool if we had a mouse over rule for the HTML output to display the expanded form of the abbreviation. Also, the first occurence in a file could point to the glossary as was mentioned. Until we have some kind of application, I don't want to spend any time adding <acronym> tags. How are mouseover's defined these days? Is this standardized in CSS2 or only a Javascript thing? If it's in CSS2, then we could write some simple xsl code to make a pass through the docs and output some rules to append to docbook.css during the build. - Murray
