I looked at http://microformats.org/wiki/assistive-technology-abbr-results#Invalid_HTML4 , and I found that HTML5 <time> isn't listed even as having been considered and rejected.

HTML5 includes <time> pretty much exactly to make it unnecessary to use the abbr design pattern for datetimes. Are there any plans to upgrade the POSH principle to treat valid HTML5 as an acceptable basis for microformats?

Also, I see that the datetime formats use the "T" separator. I think the formats would be more human-readable with a space as the separator. Finally, it seems that "Z" isn't allowed as the time zone designator, even though it is less verbose than +00:00.
