An earlier comment was that we'd *have to* allow a bunch of inlines if we
put markup within acronym?
  I accepted it then, but in hindsight, it is plain wrong.

I disagree with alt as internal markup on semantic grounds
http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/alt.html

 <acronym>NASA<expansion>National Aeronautics and Space
 Administration</expansion></acronym>

is good for me.
I.e. something semantically correct?
