On the broader point, assuming you use gzip when you care about size, abbreviations don't save much, especially in the many-repeated case discussed.
This is one of my primary arguments against using abbreviations. See my original post: http://snipurl.com/10156 There's an online tool for doing before and after comparisons. Here are the results from a medium sized page from one of my sites using hCard: http://snipurl.com/1015m That's 26kb down to 5kb - an 82% compression rate and 5.3x transfer rate improvement. The compression check page can be found here: http://www.port80software.com/tools/compresscheck.asp Can anyone give any real *disadvantages* to using output compression?
