Comment (by afercia):

 Discussed a bit this ticket during
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/accessibility/p1455654295000286
 today's a11y bugscrub on Slack] and agreed to consider it in combination
 with #35111. In our mind, the plugin "cards" are meant to display to users
 a short, quick, summary of the plugin features while a detailed view is
 available in the detail modal dialog. Thus, our proposal is to use the
 human time date in the plugin card and the extended, detailed, date in the
 details modal.

 About the `<abbr>` element: though is a common practice, we think it's
 basically wrong. Any shortened form of a word is an abbreviation, for
 example, etc. for etcetera, Oct. for October, and ex. for example. In
 English, there are also acronyms and initialisms, they are both
 abbreviations.
 Acronym: the resulting abbreviation needs to be pronounceable as a word,
 example: NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).
 Initialism: the resulting abbreviation is not pronounced as a word, rather
 you say the individual letters, example: FBI (Federal Bureau of
 Investigation).

 I'd say the human time "2 days ago" doesn't use any part of, for example,
 "Sep 29, 2015 @ 21:41" so it's not an abbreviation in the first place.
 It's just a different "format".

 We'd also recommend to don't use the "@" sign and always use "at" instead,
 see for example the Comments screen.
