If you were to do this (I'm not saying it's a good or bad idea)
wouldn't you do it the other way, with the machine readable data
inside the title?

<abbr class="region" title="CA">California</a>,
<abbr class="country" title="US">U.S.A.</abbr>


except by definition of the ABBR element, the text node is the short
form. So it would have to be
<abbr class="region" title="California">CA</abbr>

you could do

<span class="region" title="CA">California</span>

and that is both valid HTML and the microformat parser should use
"California" in this instance.


Isn't this the opposite of datetime-design-pattern though? I'm thinking here ... maybe we're operating under different assumptions ... of CA is a computer readable form, not as an abbreviation.

Regards, etc...
