What about a long-press on the abbreviation? Does that do anything? I'm not on mobile now but I vaguely recall that working on some mobile platforms.

Although it works on desktop Safari, there's no way to tell that you should be able to hover over it.

Chrome on Android rather (un)helpfully selects 'The WHO' and gives me a link to the rock band.

  That would have nothing to do with the HTML abbr tag. That’s just Google Assistant being Google Assistant.

    Understood. It's a bit like the Google Assistant saying, 'Stand aside, I don't need the instructions. I'm being helpful.' And then doing the wrong thing. It should just RTFM.
