In addition I think this is a case where a little bit of pain now with abbr and some tools actually opens up the potential for *much* better accessibility/usability tools (once UAs actually recognize ISO dates as such and can speak/rewrite them for a user's datetime/language/locality preferences). I for one think this tradeoff is more than reasonable.
So you don't see the fact that *NO* current UA (particularly screen readers) recognises ISO dates and turns them into fluffy human readable output as a problem? And you're saying that you'd rather knowingly inflict a "little bit of pain" on end users in a move to force UA vendors to change their behaviour to ease that pain? Or am I misreading that part?
