 we could say, "hours", instead of "MM" we could say "minutes"...

 I had wondered about that before. I'm about to upload a patch that uses
 {{{<abbr>}}} inside the label. Seemed to me like a good compromise -
 screenreaders get the full translatable title, and the inline display of
 each label/input pair is maintained with an abbreviation (also
 translatable)... which leads me to:

 The patch includes styles for the label for each field and the span
 wrapping each label/field pair - but because we shouldn't patch minified
 JS/CSS, to see the current styles in effect you'll have to define
 {{{SCRIPT_DEBUG}}} in your {{{wp-config.php}}} file - here are
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug the codex
 instructions] to do that, and I'll upload a screenshot of how this looks
 for me. (And thanks to helen for pointing that out earlier here - I'm
 learning here too...)

 Also, re: your last note - my patches have been against whatever the
 current trunk version was at the time - I'm unsure of exactly the full
 version each time, but it's been 3.7-whatever. I updated my local copy
 today, so this new patch should be good against 3.7RC2.

 Thoughts on the {{{<abbr>}}} thing? Am I right in thinking that's a good
 solution to the accessibility vs. clean display problem?
