Acronym proposal

[Andrzej Zydron <azydron@xml-intl.com>]

Hi Everyone,

Based on our discussions last week it is recommended that the acronym 
proposal be expanded to include abbreviations and short forms where 
these have the same requirements as those of the original acronym 
proposal. The proposal is therefore to create an 'abbreviated-form' 
element ahich would act like the proposed acronym element and provide 
specialization in keeping with DITA principles. The change to the 
element syntax would be as per the following:

<acronym class="abbreviated-form" conref="acronyms.dita#acronyms/tla"/>
<abbreviation class="abbreviated-form" 
conref="acronyms.dita#acronyms/abbrev"/>
<short-form class="abbreviated-form" 
conref="acronyms.dita#acronyms/short"/>

This proposal has the benefit of allowing a more precise description of 
the item in question.

Best Regards,

AZ
