Re: changing abbr-design-pattern to title-design-pattern?

I've been following this thread with some interest, and I
have a  
question: what is the ideal amount of human interface with
machine- 
readable content (when different from human-readable
content) in  
microformats?  In visual browsers, the current common
interface is a  
minimal readability of machine-readable content only while a
cursor  
is hovering over the <abbr>.  Is this middle ground
between full  
readability (e.g. <span
class="dtstart">2007-05-10 23:30:00-06:00</

span>) and zero readability (e.g. external RDF) a goal,
or an  
unintended side effect of using <abbr>?  If the
latter, I think we  
should probably focus on potential solutions that would
remove this  
kind of exceptional not-for-human-consumption
machine-readable  
content from both aural and visual browsers.  And if the
former, we  
should focus on solutions which simply improve the interface
of such  
content.  But I'm not clear on what the goal is here.

Peace,
Scott
