Regarding the resulting “time” element section in the spec [1] I cannot but express my concerns that in reality, authors won’t use the element this way. Despite all understandable, valid reasoning behind it, the “time” element currently doesn’t seem to match an author’s and user’s model on how to mark up “time.” Thus, I think we can expect authors to use “time” for stuff like <time>500 BC</time>, <time>2 pm</time>, <time>2025</time>, and maybe even <time>yesterday</time>. Even though there aren’t any numbers backing this claim up—understandably so—I wonder if we can make the spec a bit more tolerant?
