As some browsers don't support this either, this should probably be considered an addition and not a replacement to using full text on first reference. On paper, it would be ungainly to have full text in parentheses after each use of a frequently-used acronym anyway, and hacking stylesheets to do so only on first reference, if possible, strikes me as more work than is worth eliminating having to type an acronym out once per piece of documentation. -- Daniel Harris
