From WC3 on tagging acronyms:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/pdf/PDF8.html#:~:text=In%20a%20tagged%20PDF%20document,create%20a%20new%20Span%20tag
.

Example #1 of tagging acronym expansion text yields a yellow warning on the
PAC checker.
The warning is: Possibly inappropriate of a span structure element.

If you don't use the span tag at all for the word, then the screen readers
read the expansion text just fine and you get no PAC errors.

Anyone have some insight into this?
