RE: ABBR vs. just spelling it out.

Hi Darrel,

I would definitely spell out the first occurrance on each page, for the
benefit of those [sighted or not] who aren't familiar with the abbreviation.
To me, this is all part of "accessible communication".

I'm sure others here will have input on the current status of ABBR.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Glenda
