[xhtml2] abbr element and full attribute

Hi,
This is a QA Review comment for "XHTML 2.0"

About http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/mod-text.html#sec_9.1.


 "full = IDREF
     This attribute locates an element that defines 
  the full expansion of an abbreviation. The referenced 
  element must be in the same document as the abbreviation."

Then the XHTML 2.0 specification doesn't define 
 - what are the constraints on the expansion.
 - how it interacts with dfn
 - and content.
 
Is this correct? If not, specifiy the rules.

 "<p id="w3c">The World Wide Web Consortium 
 (<abbr full="#w3c">W3C</abbr>)
 develops interoperable technologies (specifications, 
 guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to 
 its full potential.</p>

Or this?

 <p role="definition">
     The <dfn id="w3c">World Wide Web Consortium</dfn> 
  (<abbr full="#w3c">W3C</abbr>)
  develops interoperable technologies (specifications, 
  guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to 
  its full potential.
 </p>

Bu what about this

 "<p id="w3c">The World Wide Web Consortium 
 (<span href="#w3c" 
 content="World Wide Web Consortium" 
 property="abbr">W3C</span>)
 develops interoperable technologies (specifications, 
 guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to 
 its full potential.</p>"
