I dont believe that *2008-07-11T00:01+0100* belongs anywhere where a
human can read it, the only place I have found where this data sits
nicely is either stuffed in the head of a document or in a class.
I have been "playing around" with the various solutions proposed on both
this and uf-dev over the past few weeks, none of which turned out too
good when it came to parsing (for me).
anyway I tried something different by just re-using existing
microformats "item" and "value"...
<div class="item updated">
<p>Date <span class="value 2008-07-11T00:01+0100">Friday, July the 11th
2008</span></p>
</div>
There are a few more examples of how Item and Value work together in a
demo available here:

It seems workable to me, but I guess that will be up to the rest of the
community ;)
Thanks
