Apologies for not responding sooner. I've been working on a test case
script for all of the possibilities listed on the assistive-
technology-abbr-results pages, but side work always falls behind work
work. I'm getting close, I swear. Please add this format to the list
if you'd like us to test it, though on first glance, I don't think it
will be any better for the sake of AT. It might actually be worse,
because the agents that speak the title attribute node out loud would
also speak the following text node.

I've been working with Great Circle Mapper to add hCard and geo
microformats to their website. This has been done; for example on:
<http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=BHX-HKG%0D%0A%0D%
0A&RANGE=&PATH-COLOR=red&PATH-UNITS=nm&SPEED-GROUND=&SPEED-
UNITS=kts&RANGE-
STYLE=best&RANGE-COLOR=navy&MAP-STYLE=>
(aka <http://tinyurl.com/yrlj9t>)
and they've come up with this way of working-around recent concerns
about mis-use of "abbr":
<span class="smaller geo">
<abbr class="latitude" title="52.453856"></abbr>52^27'14"N
<abbr class="longitude" title="-1.748028"></abbr>01^44'53"W
</span>
(degree symbols replaced with ASCII "^")
I admire the lateral thinking, but I wonder if this is any better,
from
the PoV of people using assistive technology? If it is, it would
seem to
provide a simple work-around to recent concerns.
