Does it mean that if I will apply CSS style for abbr it should be also applied for acronym? Posted from: 178.36.189.188 by glitch.mr@gmail.com User agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; pl) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51 57662 1 ian 2011-10-02 17:27:13 +0000 The spec doesn't say anything about treating anything identically. It says "User agents must treat acronym elements in a manner equivalent to abbr elements in terms of semantics and for purposes of rendering". Is that ambiguous? I don't understand how that could be interpreted to mean that CSS selectors for one match the other. Any suggestions on how to make it clearer? 57739 2 ian 2011-10-04 00:04:03 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
