The examples you give are not acronyms, but abbreviations.

Good for you!

Of course, to allow
IE users to see them, I have to use <acronym>... :-(

Oh no, you don't *have* to.

When I'm feeling particularly generous towards the misguided users of
that browser-like object, I code stuff like:

<span class="abbr" title="Internet Exploder"><abbr
title="Internet Exploder">IE</abbr></span>

which is the correct markup (i.e abbr) *and* (in conjunction with a
suitable stylesheet) produces the desired appearance and effects,
both on web browsers and on that thing.

(Could be easily generated by some kind of editor macro.)
