I've been through and edited the examples to fix issues with  
validation and incorrect closing tags.

I have the following issues with them:

• class="price" should not include mark-up from a currency proposal.  
It could endorse, promote and spread use of mark-up that is later  
discarded as sub-optimal. I don't think the hAudio spec should  
advocate use of an unfinished microformat at all.

<span class="price">£1</span> should be sufficient for these examples  
at the moment.

• All uses of the ABBR pattern for dates and times should use  
hyphenated separators. We're still in an accessibility grey spot with  
regards to the whole thing, but it was noted that splitting dates  
with hyphens made it acceptable in some cases ("2007-11-03" over  
"20071103"). I don't know what the effect is of your new duration  
abbreviations. It's important that someone with access to the right  
equipment tests those expansions with assistive technology. If it's  
appropriate to hyphenate the expansions in the time formats, then  
they should be.

• I'm of the view that whilst use of HTML elements should be neutral  
wherever possible (SPAN, DIV), use of presentational elements such as  
BR should not feature in our examples. Some of the examples are using  
BR to change the presentation. These should be reworked somehow.
