That's a personal opinion, but I think it may have some value.

I find the proposed <x> and <t> elements to lack expressiveness in their names. I understand that making them shorter is desirable, but it also has a drawback: they're harder to understand simply by looking at the source and their meaning can more easily be misunderstood. Not everybody read the spec and those that don't are more prone to use them inappropriately.

Personally, I'd favor <term> and <time> instead, or anything else that conveys a meaning. That's especially important since these element will have, most of the time, no noticeable effect on the visual representation of the document.
