Thread:Extension talk:Lingo/Use of acronym and abbr tags instead of span

I'm just thinking aloud here, but for both semantic and (I think more importantly) web accessibility reasons, is it possible to make use of the proper acronym and abbr tags instead of span ? This would be of benefit to screen readers used by visually-impaired users, and also take care of the tooltip display without the need for JavaScript.

Then there is question of how to automatically distinguish between acronyms (e.g. RAM) and abbreviations (e.g. CPU) yet still have the Terminology page human-readable. Perhaps there could be two subpages of the Terminology page (Terminology/Acronyms and Terminology/Abbreviations). These two pages could be (i) simply transcluded into the Terminology page, or perhaps (ii) merged into a single alphabetically list if possible.
