DM, that's a very good point, I agree that the use of abbr in this situation is appropriate. But we shouldn't really be choosing between representing it as an abbreviation or as a name : it's both. It's the abbreviation of a name. So the way of carrying the full semantic information is to use both tags (abbr inside name - so that expanding abbr would result in a properly annotated name).
