Styling <abbr> in IE

These crazy romance readers have their own set of abbreviations which, while they are an almost necessary convenience for those who use them could be intimidating to someone new to the conference. But of course IE only supports the accronym tag, which they really aren't, so I tracked down this workaround. It would be ugly if you had to put in the extra span with a title by hand, but in steps javascript (not the DOM because IE is too gimpy) and we have a solution. I'll apply this solution to the yet un-launched CR2004 website, then maybe here, though the inline markup may be getting a little out of hand what with the typography enhancments and such.
