An attribute to qualify semantics content seems better than adding yet another element which will be more difficult to implement in editing tools and more constraining. [...] or something like <span property="dc:date" content="2006-12-04">mardi 4 décembre 2004</ span>
The HTML 5 spec already defines a <time> element in section 3.12.11. According to the spec, Karl's example would be: <time datetime="2006-12-04">mardi 4 décembre 2004</time> Current user agents that do not understand the <time> element will ignore it, future user agents can get a machine-readable time from the datetime attribute. The format of the datetime attribute is defined in section 3.2.3. The <time> element can be used anywhere inline content is accepted, so it already works with Simon's <dialog> time stamp idea. -William
