Reading the spec, I have to wonder: Does HTML5 need to specify as
much as it does inline? Can't more of it be referenced to ISO 8601
or even better; RFC 3339? I really fancy how Atom (RFC 4287) has
defined date constructs:
<http://www.atompub.org/rfc4287.html#date.constructs>
Does not RFC 3339 defined date and time in a satisfactory manner to
use directly in HTML5? If there's prior discussion regarding this,
I'd really appreciate a pointer. Thanks!
Without looking up prior discussion, the short answer is that content
relies upon the parsing currently specified. Also, neither RFC3339 nor
ISO8601 define parsing.
