Summary: the new <time> element is very useful for absolute dates and times, but omits several useful granularity levels, in particular for dates. The following additional date granularities would be useful, and are fairly straightforward to incorporate into the spec (and implementations): * year only: YYYY * year-month only: YYYY-MM (also corresponds to output form of input type=month) * year-week only: YYYY-WNN (also corresponds to output form of input type=week) * month-day only: --MM-DD (common birthdays without year use case) More details, use-cases, research here: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Time#Date_granularity I encourage fellow web authors and browser implementers to add their opinions/comments to that wiki page section. Note that there are additional proposals on that page - I'm sending one email per proposal (or strongly related set of proposals) to better track them separately. Feel free to read through and comment on other proposals on the page as well. Thanks! Tantek -- http://tantek.com/ - I made an HTML5 tutorial! http://tantek.com/html5
