Does the following make any sense to you as a potential solution to i18n?

<span class="tel tel">Téléphone: <span class="value">(514)
123-4567</span></span>
<span class="tel fax">Télécopieur: <span class="value">(514)
123-4568</span></span>

as opposed to stretching the semantics of the <abbr> tag?
