There is also a question about NON BROWSER implementations, like server and client side scripts, bots, etc. I do not claim to have any data about this, but anecdotal evidence suggest that there are quite a few efforts underway to make use of the time element. I did once upon a time suggest a <number> element, to be used for spreadsheets and such, together with CSS rules to format those numbers in locale specific ways. http://t.co/scpNJpjC Thus I am not completely opposed to having a way to mark up other kinds of data besides time. However, speaking as an educator, my estimation is that the now proposed <data> element is way too vague and generic. (Yes, it slipped under my radar and I should have spoken out earlier, however, I have also got a life to live and work to do...) -- Lars Gunther http://keryx.se/ http://twitter.com/itpastorn/ http://itpastorn.blogspot.com/
