I'm still very new to this however I'm not sure that using an abbreviation:
<abbr class="fn" title="Charles Windsor">His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales</abbr> would be the most appropriate, especially considering that the abbrevited text is longer than it's title. "His Royal Highness, etc" to me at least could potentially be deemed as an additional name.

We also came across a problem (that would be tough to address in hCard) that some people's given names aren't used in any form of address. For example, the name might be "Charles Windsor", but the form of address is "His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales". I suppose the abbreviation pattern could theoretically be butchered for this purpose: <abbr class="fn" title="Charles Windsor">His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales</abbr> But I'm inclined to think that a simpler solution would be to avoid the problem altogether by having a revolution (we don't have to necessarily shoot 'em; just strip them of their ludicrous titles). -- Jeremy Keith a d a c t i o http://adactio.com/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by Verizon Business Internet Managed Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.
