Does the following make any sense to you as a potential solution to i18n?

<span class="tel tel">Téléphone: <span class="value">(514)
123-4567</span></span>
<span class="tel fax">Télécopieur: <span class="value">(514)
123-4568</span></span>

as opposed to stretching the semantics of the <abbr> tag?

Quoted from http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-issues

REJECTED TRIED ALREADY. Using class names for the "type" of a tel or adr was attempted (http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-parsing#ISSUE_2), and failed in many situations. In addition, the "type" information is actual data, not just a property name, and thus deserves to be in the visible markup. Note that you can use abbreviations, e.g. <abbr class="type" title="work">W:</abbr> in order to present the type in a way that may better fit in with the rest of your presentation.
