Examples

<PARA>
Some day computer documentation will be as interesting as fiction;
<FOREIGNPHRASE>ad interim</FOREIGNPHRASE> we can busy ourselves 
marking it up.  If your boss asks why the documentation is late,
just tell him, <QUOTE><FOREIGNPHRASE LANG="fa_af">Besyar nawaqt 
nawaqt nist</FOREIGNPHRASE>.</QUOTE>
</PARA>

<PARA>
<ACRONYM>NASA</ACRONYM> is an acronym for the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration formed
from the first letters of the major words in that name.
Acronyms may be formed from syllables, too, such
as <ACRONYM>CINCPAC</ACRONYM> or <ACRONYM>SatCom</ACRONYM>
Sometimes it is hard to distinguish acronyms from
abbreviations, such as <ABBREV>UCLA</ABBREV>
and <ABBREV>U.C.L.A.</ABBREV>.  
(<FOREIGNPHRASE><ABBREV>Cf</ABBREV></FOREIGNPHRASE>
<ACRONYM>DNS</ACRONYM>.)  In general, you cannot count on 
regular use of periods in abbreviations.
