IFX, a retail banking standard, uses Currency Code ("CurCode") instead
of "type" following the ISO4217 3-letter currency code, and Currency
Amount ("CurAmt") instead of money or currency. So it would be:
<span class="currencyamount">
<span class="currencycode">USD</span>
<span class="value">5.00</span>
</span>

Isn't this suggesting that "42.67" is an abbreviation for "USD"?
I've commented before that microformats already "misuse" <abbr> in
this
way.
Where is that? I don't remember seeing anything like this, where one
piece of information is declared as abbreviation for another and
they're not even the same kind of information.
I may be a similar discussion; sorry.
When the data is on the page, this seems like an ideal use of the
include pattern:
<http://microformats.org/wiki/include-pattern>
Specifically, something like this:
<th><abbr title="USD" id="usd" class="currency">Cost</abbr></th>
[...]
<td class="money">
<a class="include" href="#usd"></a>
<span class="amount">42.67</span>
</td>
An empty anchor tag? Is that semantically meaningful? It's certainly
something I'd usually avoid using,
When the data is not on the page at all, I'd say that's out of scope
for microformats.
I now that's the received wisdom here; I don't agree that it's always
the case, but this isn't the thread for that debate.
