According to the spec, Karl's example would be: <time datetime="2006-12-04">mardi 4 d?cembre 2004</time> Current user agents that do not understand the <time> element will ignore it, future user agents can get a machine-readable time from the datetime attribute. The format of the datetime attribute is defined in section 3.2.3. The <time> element can be used anywhere inline content is accepted, so it already works with Simon's <dialog> time stamp idea. -William
