If you have a |title| attribute with the expanded term, you could use 
|abbr[title="United States"] { content: "U.S."; }|.

Still, I guess it might be interesting to have more generic declarations 
like:

|text-decoration: post-character("."); /* "US" > "U.S.*/|

To go off on a tangent, you might even have:

|text-decoration: intra-character(" "); /* "Hello World !" > "H e l l 
o   W o r l d !*/|
|text-decoration: inter-character("."); /* "Hello World !" > 
".H.e.l.l.o. .W.o.r.l.d.!.*/|
