Ian,

Instead of screen scraping, why not parse the page located at the URL and
pull out all the information regarding the acronyms and abbreviations
located at that place. I think that is what Kynn is suggesting.

I like the idea. It means you can create a dictionary of acronyms and
abbreviations which new people can use and which your app also can use to
add the appropriate mark-up to other pages on a site.
