Comment:

 In [changeset:"45930" 45930]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45930"
 Accessibility: Audit usage of abbreviations.

 Title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of
 users. The
 best option is to avoid unnecessary abbreviations when possible. In the
 other cases,
 use an `<abbr>` element (which provides a hint to user agents on how to
 announce
 and display the abbreviation) and provide an expansion in plain text on
 first use.

 - `readme.html`: improves abbreviations and removes unnecessary `title`
 attributes
 - options-general: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the
 remaining ones
 - customizer schedule changeset date: removes unnecessary abbreviations
 and improves the remaining ones
 - posts table date: uses a `span` element instead of an `abbr` element
 because this is not an abbreviation

 Fixes #46980.
