I'm new to hCard. Let's say I have the following markup: <div> <h3>Téléphone Mobile</h3> <div>1-408-555-1234</div> </div>
What is the proper way to mark this up such that it is identified as a mobile phone number, but it is also i18n friendly (i.e. it does not require me to put "CELL" in the text contents of the page). This is what I think is one option: <div class="tel"> <h3><abbr class="type" title="cell">Téléphone Mobile</abbr></h3> <div class="value">1-408-555-1234</div> </div> However, it introduces the semantically incorrect 'abbr' element into my markup. It would also introduce an undesirable tooltip when hovering over Mobile Phone. Similar questions go for ADR types, gender (when hCard is presumably updated for vCard4), etc. Someone just now pointed me to http://microformats.org/wiki/value-class-pattern#Using_value-title_to_publish_machine-data which indicates that the following is another option: <div class="tel"> <h3 class="type"><span class="value-title" title="cell"></span>Téléphone Mobile</h3> <div class="value">1-408-555-1234</div> </div> The extra span seems ... dirty, but I guess it can work. My only question is whether screen readers interpret the title of the empty span in any way.
