Yeah, Matt got bitten by the bug in AcronymIt() where it wraps an ‘acronym’ element around text in a ‘title’ attribute. That results in some VERY off-key HTML.
I tried once to fix that bug, but couldn’t figure out the necessary regular expression. Regexes make my brain hurt.

Fixed. My brain hurts now.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use
regular expressions". Now they have two problems.

I seem to remember posting a fixed regex in the comments on AcronymIt.
