assistive technology abbr results

This page is for document the precise results of using assistive-technology with real world examples in the wild of the abbr design pattern, as nearly always used by hCalendar (e.g. dtstart, dtend), often by hReview (e.g. dtreviewed, rating) and sometimes by hCard (e.g. bday, type subproperty).

Each assistive-technology listed here MUST link to a precise description of the tool/service on the assistive-technology page, including version number, when published, etc.

Each test result listed for each assistive technology MUST link to the real world example that was tested.
