The first time an uncommon abbreviation is used in a page provide the
expansion:

example:
<abbr>W3C</abbr> (World Wide Web Consortium)


subsequent instances may include the expanded form in the title
<abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>

This means it will be available to all by default, without any need for
complicated solutions.
