Addressed in the attached patch. The four preceding patches haven't
changed compared to <d002f045-1a69-41f1-8661-c19635316...@lukasepple.de>.

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ox-html.el: Use time element for timestamps in fancy
html5
* ox-html.el (org-html--format-timestamp): Use time html element and its
datetime attribute when `org-html--html5-fancy-p'.
(org-html-datetime-formats): Add custom value that allows the user to
modify how `org-html--format-timestamp' renders the timestamp in the
HTML5 datetime attribute without affecting how it is displayed.
* testing/lisp/test-ox-html.el (ox-html/html5-fancy-timestamps): Add
simple test for the changed behavior (which only covers the behavior of
`org-html-timestamp').
* ORG-NEWS: Describe changed behavior of timestamp formatting with fancy
HTML5 rendering.
