Re: New [free] accessibility tools - Acronym and abbreviation generator

Interesting. I think the weakness is the acronym library itself.
Obviously, this is only going to be a useful application for
people who write content with the same abbreviations as you! :)

Here's what I propose to fix that.

You should include the ability to choose from the following
kinds of acronym libraries:

(1) The default one, maintained by Accessify.

(2) A library uploaded via file upload from the user's local
hard drive.

(3) A library specified by URL.

What should a "library" consist of? Simple -- it's just any HTML
page. Acrobot should scan that file for existing <acronym>/<abbr>
tags, and construct a list of abbreviations. This then forms the
library for that run of the program.
