Hi Roland,

Hans (or someone else) added abbreviation as a standard synonym in the file
strc-syn.mkiv<http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/strc-syn.mkiv?search=abbreviations>.
You no longer need to separately define abbreviation with \definesynonym in
order to use \abbeviation{VVV}{Bureau of Tourist Information}.
