  2. 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.

    regular expressions". Now they have two problems.

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