a slight loosening of the semantics of the abbr element.
<p class="tel>
  <abbr class="type" title="fax">Téléc</abbr>.:
  <span class="value">(514) 123-4568</span>
</p>

This thread is going in circles, On 12 March, I wrote, having suggested
the same possibility, that:

       ...there are concerns that that's an abuse of "abbr".

I think that abuse is too strong a term for what's happening here.

There is historical evidence that in the case of microformats, such a thing is allowed.

To markup the following vcard example.

http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#3.3.1_TEL_Type_Definition

TEL;TYPE=work,voice,pref,msg:+1-213-555-1234

<span class="tel">
  <abbr class="type" title="pref">my</abbr>
  <span class="type">work</span>
  <abbr class="type" title="voice">phone</abbr>, with
  <abbr class="type" title="msg">voicemail</abbr>:
  <span class="value">+1-213-555-1234</span>
</span>
