Wrong by definition

[Stuart Burnfield <sburnf -at- au1 -dot- ibm -dot- com>]

About three-quarters of the way through this article there's an example of
a sort of pop-up glossary.
http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/2451/

If you hover the pointer over the underlined term "IP", a definition is
displayed rather like a tooltip. Looking at the page source, this is
achieved through a tag like this:
<acronym title="Internet Protocol">IP</acronym>

The intention is good, but unfortunately in this case the definition is
wrong--IP refers to intellectual property. Winning idea, losing
performance, as my old boss used to say.

I think the technique has promise, but as this example shows... check your
work! check your work! check your work!
