== Acronym ==
The word ''acronym'' traditionally has meant a word formed from the initial letters of other words, such as [[NATO]] is pronounced as a word. However, the world marches on and continued ignorant misuse of the word has allowed the meaning in which you used it to gain popular acceptance. The word ''abbreviation'' is a good fit in this case and does not suffer the controversy of the word ''acronym'', therefore it is the better word to use.

== XHTML <sub> and <sup> ==
There are no hard and fast rules in French for determining what letters to omit when abbreviating a word; however, once the abbreviation is formed, there are rules for how to format it. If the abbreviation consists only of letters taken from the beginning of the word, it's formatted on the line and followed by a period. ''M(onsieur) → M. | boul(evard) → boul.'' If the abbreviation has letters from the end of the word, those letters are superscripted and there is no period in the abbreviation. ''M(ada)me → M<sup>me</sup> | Établ(issemen)ts → Établ<sup>ts</sup>'' For the most common of these abbreviations, the superscripting is often omitted: you probably won't see "St" with a superscript ''t'' while you're in Montreal.
I'm not from Montreal, but I did live there for a year. I'm hopelessly fascinated by the place, and although I'd never move back (the Prairies are my home), I do get an almost uncontrollable urge for a [[Montreal smoked meat]] sandwich once in a while. Enjoy your stay in Montreal. [[User:Indefatigable|Indefatigable]] 13:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
== Re: XHTML and RDF ==
Hi Cplot, thanks for your message. I did declare the namespace, and I did test the file as .xhtml. I wouldn't resort to hiding the RDF through CSS, though, because that would be a hack. Complaining browsers shouldn't display RDF information, unless they were acting like a RDF browser.
I took the liberty to throw the file into [http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=10baedf here], and you may download and read the code if you like.--[[User:Saoshyant|<span style="color:#92000A;font-weight:bold;">Saoshyant</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Saoshyant|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Saoshyant|contribs]]</sup> <span style="font-size:80%;">(I don't like [[Uncyclopedia:Wikipedophile|Wikipedophiles]])</span> 15:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
:Sup. Thanks for testing the file in Safari. No, I don't give a damn about IE. If more people did the same, IE would be a proper browser for years, because MS would have to rush to fight the competition.
:Regarding the RDF namespace. In XHTML 1.1 you cannot put additional namespaces on <nowiki><html></nowiki>. This is supposed to be valid however, on version 2. As far as I know, the id="" on style is still allowed on 1.1, but the w3c validator has always chocked on that even with xhtml 1.0. I actually filled a bug recently regarding that, but I have yet to hear back from them. Anyhow, the RDF issue doesn't seem affected by the style id.
:I think if someone created a lot of testcases regarding XHTML 2, RDF and WebApplications, as well as somebody else create a popular website served as app/xhtml instead of text/html (like even wikipedia here is) running those technologies we'd see more adoption of it. A shame, but it's not here or there. Anyway, this RDF inside XHTML was a fun experiment. We'll see what'll happen in the future. If it depended on me, I'd abolish XHTML title, meta and link tags in favor of RDF. Now that would be some cool semantic stuff.
:And thanks again for you help.--[[User:Saoshyant|<span style="color:#92000A;font-weight:bold;">Saoshyant</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Saoshyant|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Saoshyant|contribs]]</sup> <span style="font-size:80%;">(I don't like [[Uncyclopedia:Wikipedophile|Wikipedophiles]])</span> 21:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
