RE: ABBR vs. just spelling it out.

It sounds like the ideal (for screen readers) would be having 3 options:

1. read all titles from acronyms & abbr (and other?) elements.

2. Warn of items with titles (with a little 'bing' or something), with a
specific key stroke/combo to read the expansion.

3. Read none.

With the middle option being default, and roughly the same has having an
underline that visual interfaces provide.

Would that be possible/plausible?

Kind regards,

-Alastair
