Q1 '07: <span class="dtstart">2007-01-01</span> through <abbr
        class="dtend" title="2007-04-02">2007-04-01</abbr>

I have proposed a solution to this problem:


<http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-brainstorming#Simplification_of_date-end>


I do agree that such counter-intuitive things could cause a lot of people to use it incorrectly

I think the machine-readable part should match the human-headable part in meaning for the untrained human but I don't think a real world application could rely on it either way unless there is something visible there to state that it is exclusive or inclusive.

I have found with other things where start and end dates are used I just can't trust the end date if there is only one day between them because users WILL use them differently. (In the real world I just have to assume that it's an event happening some time during the start date - possibly all-day - possibly longer - more likely shorter)
