[uf-discuss] country-code may be missing from hCard/adr spec

[Erin Caton]

I see your disagree, and I raise you a link. :)

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_abbr.asp

UK is the abbreviated form of United Kingdom.  As such, it should be  
in the content of the tag, or else using the abbr element is  
unnecessary.  However, I have no clue as to whether the class country- 
name is appropriate for country codes, which seems to be the issue.   
I was just commenting on the general html.
