Thanks Martin, I actually went in this direction when documenting this
thread on the wiki [1]. I'm using abbreviations I found from official
source [2] ("s" instead of "sec" for instance)
Great Guillaume some progress....
Something that came to my mind is how to reconcile this proposition
with the measure microformat [3] (a duration is a measure of time).
For instance, according to the draft measure proposal "15min 30s",
would be marked up with <span class="num">30</span><span
class="unit">s</span>.

http://microformats.org/wiki/datetime-design-pattern#Individual_markup_of_each_date.2Ftime_component
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second
[3] http://microformats.org/wiki/measure
so using a little of both duration could be marked up thus...
<span class="duration">
<span class="h">1</span>: [1]
<span class="min">3</span>: [2]
<span class="s">42</span> [3]
</span>
Duration is marked up in a ISO 31-1 format which is how durations and
intervals should be marked up [4] as apposed to ISO 8601[5] for days and
dates
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hour
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute
[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second
[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-1
[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
+1 from me on this proposal.
Thinking back Toby mentioned something in an earlier post...
For people concerned with the accessibility of ISO durations, I'd
suggest allowing duration to take *either* and ISO duration *or* a
length in seconds, optionally followed by whitespace then "s", the SI
abbreviation for seconds
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2008-August/001652.html
which is what got me thinking along those lines.
Thanks
Martin McEvoy
