Forgive me if I'm a little slow, but I'm unclear about i) where the problem is, and ii) how your version is any clearer. That use of 'title' and 'abbr' seems exceedingly odd. Why can't hCalendar already just do:

<div>
<h2><abbr class="role" title="opt-participant">Optional participants</abbr></h2>: <a class="attendee cn url" href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Abramo Bagnara</a> <a class="attendee cn url" href="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> Licia Tabanelli </a>
</div>

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me like role must be within the attendee it is describing, and Abramo is attempting to remove this requirement by cramming XPath-style selectors into class attributes. Defining relationships via XPath removes the need for hierarchy in HTML. That may or may not be a worthwhile goal, but it breaks about a dozen microformat principles from the about page [1]. Interesting idea, but probably not suitable for microformats.

Peace,
