Fair enough, though I note it's particularly useful in this instance
because there's an enumerated value being encoded.

Let me posit this: using ABBR to provide the machine coded value is
useful when the value is from a constained vocabulary or syntax.

Regards, etc...

I've found more and more places where it's useful. For example:

<div class="vcard">

<span class="tel">
   <abbr class="type" title="cell">mobile</abbr>
   <span class="value">...</span>
</span>
...
</div>

With tel type, et al, we have a limit list of values from the RFCs.
Sometimes you don't want to use precisely that term.

There isn't currently a general rule. Or, at least, we haven't
specified it.

However, in my parsing code and test cases (http://microformats.org/
tests/), I've implemented [EMAIL PROTECTED] parsing for everything except
for fields that expect a url.
