The HTML 4.01 Specification^{^[1]} contains the following example^{^[2]}

<ABBR lang="es" title="Doña">Doña</ABBR>

This is wrong: a word is not an abbreviation for itself.

Please fix.

^{^[1]} HTML 4.01 Specification

^{^[2]} 9.2.1 Phrase elements

Thanks. Indeed the content of the element should be D<sup>a</sup>.
However, there are no plans to reissue the HTML4 spec, so this mistake
will not be corrected.

Best wishes,

Steven Pemberton
