Re: Opinions on accessible time formatting

Somewhat related, HTML5 has a <time> element [1] (content is limited to
various kinds of dates, times, time-zone offsets, and durations)


Maybe this could be used to identify times/dates etc to AT, so at least
they could parse the contents knowing that its a date/time.
