on microformats.org, it suggests the ABBR element and title attribute for machine code. however, title attribute for this element will be read out to a screen reader user. we are considering having an output of <span class="name">human value<span class="value" title="machine value"></span></span> however its an empty span. this method of empty spans is also suggested on microformats.org to combat accessibility issues, but wanted your suggestions / thoughts?

Obviously it is a clash of HTML standards VS accessibility. I've chosen the <span> option because I think accessibility is more important.
