I think parsers should ignore abbr without title. It looks quite
logical.

In the absence of an "initials" property, how would you mark up
such a
name, in an hCard?
How about <abbr> without @title?
Semantically, that might make sense (and is valid HTML), but how would
parsers handle missing titles, given the abbr-design-pattern? [1]
There is still the issue of what class names are most apt, though.
[1] Two examples at the start of:
<http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/test/>
which Operator handles (plaudits due!) but for which X2V returns null
values.
Is this something else which needs clarifying and codifying in the
abbr-design-pattern spec?
I've added it to the issues page:
