 Fools, good point there. I can now see how this may present an opportunity
 to mislead visitors to a site. I would be confident in saying that a class
 attribute applied to an `abbr` element wouldn't present such a risk
 though. If it did, it would be an edge case.

 I think the positive aspects of supporting more microformats outweigh the
 potential negative aspects mentioned above.
