Unfortunately IE6 doesn't support the abbr element. To still be able to use it I created a patch applying the suggestions made in this article. I.e. When using the abbr element with no link [span][abbr][/abbr][/span] will be used. When using the abbr element with a link [abbr][a][/a][/abbr] will be used. This will present a visual indication in IE6.

[span] and [a] with the title attribute containing the explanation I should add.
