Having empty elements is a bad idea. TIDY will outright remove empty
<abbr/> elements, plus it goes against Human-readablity. For all the
same reasons META elements get state, empty inline elements will get
state as well.
Why not just use class="n fn", you are displaying all of the 'n' data
inside your empty 'abbr', so why not just remove the 'abbr' and move
the class='fn' to the same data as the class='n'
<span class="vcard">
<span class="n fn">
<span class="honorific-prefix">Mr.</span>
<span class="given-name">John</span>
<abbr class="additional-name" title="Quinlin">Q.</abbr>
<span class="family-name">Public</span>,
<span class="honorific-suffix">M.D.</span>/>
</span>
</span>

Hi Folks,
Here is some HTML text that I want to markup using the hCard fn and n
properties:
Today's speaker is Mr. John Q. Public, M.D.
I propose marking it up in this fashion:
Today's speaker is
<span class="vcard">
<abbr class="fn" title="Mr. John Q. Public, M.D." />
<span class="n">
<span class="honorific-prefix">Mr.</span>
<span class="given-name">John</span>
<abbr class="additional-name" title="Quinlin">Q.</abbr>
<span class="family-name">Public</span>,
<span class="honorific-suffix">M.D.</span>/>
</span>
</span>
Notice that I am using an empty abbr element to store the value for fn.
Is this sensible?
Is there a better way to markup the HTML text?
Is this Best Practice?
