It looks like something like:

Could that be an acceptable form, i.e. not violating
the specs?
--- the first step is to see if you can solve the problems with
existing microformats. So far, i think we have shown that 2 different
formats can carry the information you are interested in. Now it is
just a matter of how to refine those rather than re-invent the wheel
in the GEO spec.
I see that a dtstart property is mandatory,
but I want to use dtstamp, since it's a better fit for
the purpose.
The other option is to use hCard
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn org">testing</span>
<abbr class='geo' title='38;24'> in Athens</abbr> on
<abbr class="rev" title="20070124">Jan 24, 2007</abbr>
</div>
That would accomplish a similar thing, but now you are anchoring the
GEO as a PLACE not an EVENT.
Shouldn't that be either dtstamp or dtstart? (being
mandatory)
--- actually in iCalendar NOTHING is required, but practically,
because importing applications NEED a name to display the event and a
DTSTART to put it somewhere on the calendar, those two are required in
hCalendar. You can do something like class="dtstart dtstamp" on the
same class element. This would not change your mark-up and it would
allow for applications to plot the GEO points on a timeline or
calendar.
i hope this helps,
