Implement <acronym> tag inside docbook/xml

Hello!

I'm interested in implementing the acronym tag through Docbook. Sounds simple I know, here's the idea:

1) Use the tag in docbook like so: <acronym>FOO</acronym>
2) In XSL (also having a DSSSL version would be ideal) process this by finding FOO from an acronym list (let's call it acronymglossary.xml) thus outputting the following: <acronym title="whatever it is">FOO</acronym> when outputting HTML.

Anyone done this before or know how to implement? I'm a XSL newbie. I find ways to link them to a glossary but not actually do as I describe above. Maybe I should start over and learn XSL from scratch, not enough time in this world... All tips and advice welcome.
