I've been asked how to handle this case (you have an area, or an inexact location, and want to encode it while providing a friendly human readable but possibly ambiguous short hand name for said place). Is there any existing practices to look at?
Secondly, would this be a valid geo encoding 'abbreviation' ?

<abbr title='22.31119;+89.86145'>the point under my finger right now</abbr>

The thing about abbreviations is, the expanded text replaces the shortened form, rather than supplementing it. So I'd guess your example wouldn't work unless the text 'the point under my finger right now' could be replaced by '22.31119;+89.86145' and still make sense when read in its larger context.

<span> is probably a safer element to use for encoding lat/long positions.
