Remember that any page these occur on would presumably have a language
specification such as "en-us" so computers would be able to deal with
standard month and day of week names and abbreviations.
I'm sorry, but this sounds like a really bad idea. Parsers would need to
maintain translation tables for day and month names, plus abbreviations
for them, plus some sort of heuristic for figuring out the language of the
page. (In practice, many authors leave out lang/xml:lang attributes, and
Content-Language headers.)
If machine-readable dates were removed from the hCalendar spec what would be
the point of using it?
Accuracy of dates is CRUCIAL for calendar applications and you would not
want to end up using unreliable heuristics to extract them!
