Comment (by afercia):

 The patches need to be updated to follow the recommended pattern. Trying
 to summarize the recommendations from the Paciello Group linked above.

 - first: evaluate which abbreviations can be removed in favor of full text
 i.e. remove the `<abbr>` and use expanded text
 - then: for the`<abbr>` that can't be removed, use the recommended
 pattern, for example: `<abbr>FWIW</abbr> (For what it's worth)`
 - abbreviations in the bundled themes should preferably go in a separate
 patch attached to this ticket

 In no case the `<abbr>` tag should be kept without an accompanying
 expanded text. For example the following pattern doesn't help users:

 `<abbr>API</abbr> `
