Nor should you replace "31 Dec 2007" with "2008-01-01", as is currently
done in:

        <abbr class="dtend" title="2008-01-01">31 Dec 2007</abbr>


I can't understand how anyone ever thought that acceptable.


We need a fix, such as (other issues with abbr notwithstanding):

        <abbr class="inclusive-dtend" title="2007-12-31">
          31 Dec 2007
        </abbr>

ASAP, to put the job of making exported ical end-dates exclusive in the
hands of parsers, not publishers.

[the class name could even be "last-day"]
