Just to try and Outline the current thinking on hAudio

Manu's proposed *album* and *recording* properties
Album we can all agree on? 
Manu later changed his support to FN instead of Recording
which is something else we can all agree on? 

I am proposing that we re-use *item* from hListing, hReview and hItem
instead of creating another microformat *track* the status of this is
still unknown

Andy aired his concerns over the misuse of the abbr design pattern,
I agree with Andy, we SHOULD not use the abbr design pattern in hAudio
until all current abbr issues are resolved.
