DOCBOOK-APPS: abbrev - missing possibility to add the meaning of anabbreviation

[Vincent Mouton <vincent.mouton@ellips.be>]

Hi,

 

I couldn't find any other docbook element for abbreviations than the abbrev element.

But I find that this element only denotes the fact that a sequence of characters is an abbreviation, and cannot explain what that abbreviation means. idem for the acronym element.

 

I was missing an attribute for the purpose of adding the <abbr title="etcetera">etc.</abbr> tags in an html output, that would make the page accessibility compliant.

 

Is there another way to have the same result and (here comes th� question) are there any chances to update docbook with this feature.

 

cheers,
