What kind of processing scenario would benefit? It might be more valuable if the datetime attribute was used to give the date and/or timezone information. This is effictively what the IRC log for the #microformats channel does. http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats/IRC/2009-11-27 That would allow, for example, user scripts to automatically convert times in the chat log to local times. It could also be used for styling purposes, so it can be styled differently to distingish it from the rest of the line. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
