"Nr." is the usual abbreviation of "Nummer" (="number") in German, my mother tongue. I didn't know a common one in English, except "#". When I first proposed that element (<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2002Aug/0313.html>), I said I wasn't sure about the best name, although I didn't list "num", but "number", "nr", "no", "n" and "value". I somehow only used "nr" in the second approach (<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2002Nov/0110.html>). "Num" is just as good, maybe better. However, AFAICS it's everything but sure that this or a similar element (date/time) will make it into XHTML2.
