I don't know, but it seems the HTML WG stopped too early and headed  
into another direction.

Maybe it's just me, but I like the solutions of WHATWG and  
Microformats.org better, despite or maybe because their use of much  
less fancy techniques.

<http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-t>:

	<t datetime="2006-08-31">tomorrow</t>

<http://microformats.org/wiki/datetime-design-pattern>:

	<abbr class="dtstart" title="2006-08-31">tomorrow</abbr>
