And other languages, like Portuguese:

Outubro
Out.

This, however, could be handled with <abbr>, without hindering accessibility.

<span class="month"><abbr title="October">Oct.</abbr></span>

With the current abbr-pattern, your example should be:
<abbr class="month" title="October">Oct.</abbr>

That's a perfectly valid abbreviation, but doesn't address the internationalisation issue.

<abbr class="month" title="October">Outubro</abbr> is not an abbreviation, it's translation. We end up with the same problem that exists in hcard with supporting <span class="tel">< span class="type">cell</span>… in languages outside US English.
