Everyone knows that ETA stands for eicosatetraenoic acid, η, the Burakumin (in Japan), the Electronic Technician's Association, the Electronic Travel Authority (in Australia), Employment and Training Administration (in the US), the Environmental Transport Association (in the UK) and I am sure others.
Estimated time of arrival is just a small part that shares that name space. I never really thought of it in a context outside of train and plane schedules.
And yes, I use "ETA:" or "Edit:" all the time in my blog. Markup is rarely appropriate for something that you tack on at the end, IMHO.
"Edited to add" as one of the meanings is also listed in the wikipedia article on ETA. ;)
