Let me see if I'm reading this right:
1) This says that <abbr> gets @subtype from att.typed but not @type?
2) It then creates a new @type element which is modified in some 
way but I've no idea how?
3) It says 'Derived from att.typed' to indicate this is a pure 
subset change? But since locally re-defined it won't inherit any 
future changes to att.typed's @type?

If I was an average user looking at this I would really be 
wondering why @type is redefined locally in preference to using 
the att.typed version.

Should it be policy that any time we do something like this it 
requires a note/remark here about why this has been done?
