http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13240 --- Comment #61 from Marat Tanalin | tanalin.com <mtanalin@yandex.ru> 2011-11-02 15:20:45 UTC --- (In reply to comment #59) > It's for marking up a human-readable and a machine-readable representation of > the same thing for use with microformats, microdata or similar. This is what I > thought the point of <time> was as well, but it seems unlikely that this is > what people are actually using it for, thus the question. <time> element is _easy_ way to _add semantic sense_ to text without diving into verbose unusable microformat garbage oriented to narrow usecases. Markup (HTML) should never be confused with pseudo-markup (microformats). Pseudo-markup should be _supplement_ to true markup, not replacement for it. Otherwise, all semantic elements (H1, P, UL, etc.) could be removed in favor of more "universal" DIV -- that would be complete semantic absurd. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
