We're working on test of alternatives to the abbr-design-pattern for machine data. I encourage you to contribute: http://microformats.org/wiki/assistive-technology-abbr-results In the meantime, I would suggest using your best judgement with implementation.

[uf-discuss] Expanding the abbr pattern: thoughts
I've done more testing with the spanned/title solution to an abbreviated date time pattern, and finally confirmed Jon Gibbins' report. It seems JAWS has a few nuances I didn't know about. I was planning to 'bake' a forum and comment system with microformats (hAtom & hReview) and I'd prefer to get the date time pattern thing solved before I start coding. Breton's solution might work, but it just seems like too many spanned elements (spanitis?). Obviously, if we're going to run with ISO8601, we need to include the dashes as JAWS does read it better (which may require the usetitle solution). Any feedback on what would be an adequate common ground for this issue as I want to start developing ?
