Hmm. Maybe it could be described as presentational, I'm not sure. I
thought the rationale was authors don't understand what acronyms are
because Miriam-Webster's definition is so misleading. <duck/>

Hmm.

<span class="ex-acronym">CERN</span>
<abbr title="Federal Bureau of Investigation"
class="initialism">FBI</abbr> 
<abbr title="National Aeronautics and Space Administration"
class="acronym">NASA</abbr>
<abbr title="Lieutenant" class="contraction">Leut.</abbr>

Any others?
