Acronyms are a good device for shortening titles that might already be obvious to a very broad audience, but in the XML world, they're used far too often, and present a learning hurdle to the uninitiated. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if the expanded titles were used just as often as the acronyms, but they're not... Seems rather elitist to me. -- Tom
