What would consuming software do with those dates? The <time> element is meant as a replacement for the microformat <abbr> design pattern in hCalendar (if the microformat community embraces <time>; if not, <time> in pretty much pointless in HTML5). The expected use cases of hCalendar are mainly transferring *future* event entries from a Web page into an application like iCal. Conceivable, one might perhaps also want to support entries that encode the birthday (in the past) of a living person with an annual repeat. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
