1. 16:03 isn't an abbreviation for 12 September 2007. That's
/additional/ information. So that should be a SPAN not an ABBR.
I'd disagree with this. 16:03 in the context of your original page
*will* refer to 16:03 on a specific day (I'm finding it hard to think
of a non-contrived example where it wouldn't) - it's just abbreviated
to 16:03. A human would gather that information from context but it's
more explicit in the machine-readable version.
That's a reasonable argument. It's not reasonable, though, to argue
(which you're not, at least not here, but which others seem to be) that
16:03 is an abbreviation of what a human (geeks aside) would gather from
the context as being "20070912T16:03:00+01:00" (or whatever).
