How should acronyms and similar constructs be handled?

One approach would handle them like this

Entry: CPU +- - - - - - -     |CPU - central processing unit

|

Another would be to

Entry: CPU +- - - - - - -     |#REDIRECT central processing unit

Entry: Central_processing_unit +- - - - - - -     |Central Processing Unit (CPU)

that is, the acronym redirects to the main page, and is displayed in an on-page title; in this scenerio, only acronyms with multiple definitions would be handled as in the first case:

Entry: CPU +- - - - - - -     |CPU - central processing unit |     |cpu - cerebrially pleasant ungent

Finally, should it be that all (but horribly complex) acronyms simply define the expansion and link to a main page? For example, right now "GUI" is the main page and "graphical user interface" links back to it.
