As Invisible says it's one of those old ones that never got used because  
certain well-used browsers never implemented it. It also takes an attr()  
so you can pull an attribute from the element and present it. So you could  
have every <acronym> element end with the title attribute for instance. It  
gets even better with CSS3 as that allows styling by type of link so you  
can do things like:

a[href$='.pdf']:after { content: " (PDF)"; }

and every pdf link will add that content to the end of the link  
automatically.

I mean it's only taken, what, 12+ years to get to this level :-)
