From what I've been reading it sounds like <abbr> with title is more of
a problem than <span> with title. So maybe <span> with title isn't too
much of a problem in practice? I suspect that whether the span is empty
doesn't make a difference *if* the screen-reader is set up to read the
title attribute of a span. But having the software set that way seems
unlikely(?)
Do we know anyone who might have real experience with this? So far my
thought is to support microformats that use an empty <span> but not
those using the <abbr> style.
