The user can find the expanded form of the abbreviaton (if the browser supports the abbr element).

Up to version 6, Microsoft Internet Explorer does not support the abbr element: it is ignored by the browser's Document Object Model (DOM). This means that screen readers can only acces the element's title attribute by inspecting the raw markup. (See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2005OctDec/0178.html).

The user can find the expanded forms of abbreviatons and/or acronyms.
