The thing about abbreviations is, the expanded text replaces the 
shortened form, rather than supplementing it. So I'd guess your 
example wouldn't work unless the text 'the point under my finger 
right now' could be replaced by '22.31119;+89.86145' and still make 
sense when read in its larger context.
<span> is probably a safer element to use for encoding lat/long 
positions.
