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.
Well then, case closed. <abbr> tag it is!
