Actually, even I don't understand the difference between them. An acronym is a particular class of abbreviation, abbreviation is the more general of the two.

This is what W3 has to say about the tags...

The ABBR and ACRONYM elements allow authors to clearly indicate occurrences of abbreviations and acronyms. Western languages make extensive use of acronyms such as “GmbH”, “NATO”, and “F.B.I.”, as well as abbreviations like “M.”, “Inc.”, “et al.”, “etc.”
