Yes, I agree that we should be using ISO 4127 codes. (I guess my original argumement has gotten lost in the blast of e-mails.) What I'm arguing is that... we should throw an iso4127 class name in there too so that other currency codes (besides ISO 4127) could be used too without (potentially) breaking this or other Semantic HTML systems (that either exist now or will exist in the future) for marking up currency.
I don't think so. The currency type doesn't belong in the class name because it's content. It's published today in visible text (even when only as "$"), and we shouldn't be hiding information. And ISO codes don't belong in a class name simply because they are less comprehensible to publishers than something in plain English like "currency." As Joe pointed out, we can do something like <abbr class="currency" title="CAD">CDN</abbr>, so I don't see how this would constrain publishers at all.
