No, it would be better if a parser accepted, say:
<abbr class="inclusive-dtend" title="2007-12-31">
31 Dec 2007
</abbr>
and wrote "2008-01-01" when outputting an iCalendar file.
That way, we'd be's following the microformats principle of applying
semantics to the data people are already publishing; and making it less
confusing for publishers to do so.
