[uf-discuss] hCard: is this use of geo + adr legal?

[Costello, Roger L.]

Thanks Brian.  Let me try to state a general rule for the abbr design
pattern:

"The value of the title attribute is used as the value of only the
property (specified in the class attribute) that has no subproperties."

Is that a correct statement of the rule?

I'd say that is legal, abit strange, but valid.

ADR itself has no value, only the sub-properties. Just like N & FN we
do class="fn n" all the time, and the FN is made-up of all the child
nodes, whereas the N is only the portions of it's sub-properties,
given-name, etc.

In your example, parsers do not actually look for any value of ADR
only children properties, so the abbr would be ignored in this case
when applied to the ADR.
