Thanx! hAtom is a perfect one.
But do you know how to style abbr in IE? i need to give it a different
background for example.
That is the only thing that stops me from using it. :( It is a pity that IE
"stops" microformats.


IE7 supports abbr; IE 6 doesn't. I gave a presentation at BarCamp London about <abbr> in IE this past weekend; I haven't yet written up and published the details, but if in the head of your document you include

<script>
document.createElement("abbr");
</script>

then IE 6 will suddenly start supporting it :-)

You should probably put that in a conditional comment to only target IE 6 and below, just to keep things tidy.

I'll post a link once I've got the whole story published.

HTH,

Nick.
