You prose:

        # If only 'album-title' is specified, then the hAudio is an
        album.

        # If only 'audio-title' is specified, then the hAudio is a
        song/speech or other singular work.

        # If both 'album-title' and 'audio-title' is specified, then the
        hAudio is a song that is part of an album.

I think those names are confusing; they should be:

        albunm-title + track-title

or simply:

        album + track


I'm also not clear why, for two tracks on one album, three hAudio
microformats are required.

Why not:

<div class="haudio">

        <span class="album">Live Phish, Volume 15</span>

        <span class="contributor">Phish</span>

        <span class="track">
          <span class="track-title">Sanity</span>
          (<abbr class="duration" title="348">5:48</abbr>)
        </span>

        <span class="track">
          <span class="track-title">Highway To Hell</span>
          (<abbr class="duration" title="219">3:39</abbr>)
        </span>

</div>


Finally, please note that "3:39" is not an abbreviation of "219".
