None of the <abbr> tags are being used to mark up abbreviations,
except maybe for 'US" where the expansion should be 'United States',
not 'dom'.
I agree examples should be as semantic as possible, however there are
many instances where the formats are not bound to any particular
element(s) as far as semantics are concerned. For instance, hCard
information can be presented in <address> or <table> or <li> tags.
Therefore, it may be more appropriate to suggest that semantic markup
should be used in context of the document.
You're quite correct; but in microformats "title" is only considered on
"abbr", and where "abbr" is used, then it should be used in accordance
with the HTML specs, not as in the examples above.
It's long past time when this issue should have been properly addressed,
and fixed.
