Not really an objection but a question. I’ll start looking into
creating a counter proposal to the data element proposal (if so, it
will be my first so I am sure I’ll need some guidance). Instead of a
new element this counter proposal would suggest how a new attribute
for holding machine readable data on the span element (and maybe other
elements) could work.

If this counter proposal would suggest that this new attribute should
replace the datetime attribute on the time element (I have not made up
my mind if this a good idea or not yet) should that be a separate
counter proposal or could that be a part of the counter proposal to
the data element?
