They aren't abbreviations they are symbols representing a word or concept.
They're sort of the ultimate in abbreviation when you think about it that way ;) Reducing a whole concept to a symbol? Wild ;) The issue that I'm ultimately thinking about is vocalisation, although SEO might come into it as well. eg. How do you get a screen reader to vocalise what the author intended with a visual communication? The only available method that I can think of is to wrap an ABBR around the item in question and specify what you mean. -- --- <http://www.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
