            Bug ID: 277889
           Summary: <abbr> with title should have dotted underline
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

An <abbr> element like this:

<abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr>

..is supposed to have a dotted underline to make it clear that you can hover over it to read the title.

This is recommended in the HTML spec:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#phrasing-content-3

The recommended CSS declaration is:
abbr[title], acronym[title] { text-decoration: dotted underline; }

Both Chrome and Firefox follow the spec. Safari does not follow the spec, no underline is rendered.


It would be nice if Safari could add this declaration so we can ensure a consistent user experience :)
