Why? Are you interested in opinions (that's what you get in polls, at best),
or facts and arguments?

<abbr> and <acronym> are useless. I won't bother referring the arguments,
since there are no factual arguments _in favor of_ using them - no tangible
benefits that would overweigh the risks.

Huh? The only remaining item in your list is <code>, and of course you need
to repeat it for anything that needs to be marked up as computer code. Just
having <code>foo</code> somewhere doesn't mean that any subsequent foo is
code, too.
