I can't find many sources that would point to this - quite the other
way around, in fact:

http://www.framasoft.net/article2225.html#ABRV

http://www.dsi.univ-paris5.fr/typo.html#ABRV
http://pedagogie.ac-amiens.fr/eco-gestion-lp/IMG/pdf/typographie.pdf

I found a few links saying that you could use "mn or min":

http://www.nouvelles-impressions.com/wiki/typographie.html
http://www.alphaquark.com/Typographie/Typographie.htm#typo_compotexte_abreviation

I'm willing to discuss this, of course :)

Thanks a lot. It's really an improvement over time, but there are
indeed some bursts of "let's revamp everything" from time to time :)
