This is a misuse of abbr at best.
See: open issue! 2007-01-26
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-issues
I also see that you are the author of that open issue, and that it's
been rejected.
Rejected with a request for further information, and subsequently
re-opened.
The abbr design pattern is the currently accepted microformat method in
which to provide machine readable information for human readable
content,
as it's defined in the TEL Type Definition at
http://www.microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#3.3.1_TEL_Type_Definitio>n
While the abbr element isn't being used strictly as it was originally
intended, there are sufficient grounds to continue using it for the
purpose of microformats.
Can you cite evidence that it's "currently accepted" for non-English
content, as in the above example; or clarify those "sufficient grounds"
for its use in such cases, please?
