This is correct, what is your question? previously on the mailing list there was a discussion about screen readers reading out the TITLE attribute, which is not true.
I believe you are wrong about screen readers not reading out the title attribute. Most screen readers I know of allow the user to expand title attributes for abbr and acronym meaning that they replace the actual content of the element. I have experience from working with visually impaired users and most, if not all of them, use the expand titles option.
From the HTML spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-title "Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object). Audio user agents may speak the title information in a similar context" I do not feel that the title attribute is used correctly if you stick machine readable datetime values into it. If this is the designed way to convey the information I think the hCalendar microformat will need to be updated.
