Thanks for going through this.

Because the HTML spec doesn't allow for what we're trying to achieve,
one possibility was to use non-linking anchors, but there are several
issues with that.

I still prefer the abbr include pattern though.

The PT2M23S is to indicate a duration of time, but using such a format
meets resistance in that it's not easy for people to correctly markup
in such a manner.

Another option is to use hh:mm:ss instead. This is indicating an
actual moment in time.

Is it viable to consider that if we play a track from midnight, that
we can specify that moment in time when it ends?

<abbr title="00:02:23">2:23</abbr>
