I've since added this feature. It supports both the hard-to-read but pretty well-established ISO8601 duration syntax: <time>PT4H18M3S</time> ...and a slightly easier-to-read syntax: <time>4h 18m 3s</time> Earlier in this thread I suggested maybe dropping <time> altogether, with a more generic replacement. Having tried that and gotten lots of negative feedback on the topic, I've since changed the spec again and we now have both a generic element for machine-readable data, <data>, as well as an element specifically for time-related machine-readable data, <time>. The old <time> element, with its rendering rules and DOM API, are gone. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
