Almost. dostartAcronym needs a blanco line to put the words under each-other:
Better to use an explicit \blank (A blank space is equal to \par, and can give funny results when you change indenting)

Is not the same. With a blank line the next word begins on a new line. When using \blank there is also vertical whitespace between the words. But I think I like it. So that is good. ;-} -- Cecil Westerhof
