[microformats-discuss] re: Microformat for timestamp of updated content

[David Janes -- BlogMatrix]

Just out of curiosity -- in places where I'm seeing <abbr 
title="FORMAL-VALUE">INFORMAL-VALUE</abbr>, would we also 
accept/generate using the <span> or some other HTML element. I.e. I'm 
wondering why <abbr> is always being used when "title" is available on 
all HTML elements [1].
