HTML5 dropped attribute abbr implemented in firefox

Hi all,

FYI

The abbr attribute [1] which has been obseleted in HTML5 has just been
implemented (patch) in Firefox [2].
I don't know what this means for its status (if anthing) as accessibility
support implementation is not generally specified in HTML5 or taken into
account when talking about implementation of HTML5 features
