As an aside; in the case of, say: <abbr class="honorifc-prefix title="Member of the Order of the British Empire"> MBE </abbr>there should probably also be, say, a class="ufnousetitle", so that thevalue of the honorific prefix is "MBE": <abbr class="honorifc-prefix ufnousetitle" title="Member of the Order of the British Empire"MBE </abbr> obviating the need for a separate wrapper to achieve that result.
This seems somewhat clumsy to me, since a conforming HTML parser should read <abbr class="honorific-suffix" title="Doctor of Philosophy">Ph.D</a> as something along the lines of 'Ph.D is an honorific suffix, which is an abbrevation of Doctor of Philosophy'. So, it seems to me, a more elegant solution would be to require microformats parsers to be conforming parsers, in terms of the HTML spec.
Adding additional classes to account for non-conforming parsers just feels icky to me.
