I sure hope there are! Historians and classicists are increasingly

hinder this. That said, marking up a year, say 1992 AD, (as opposed to a
specific day within a specific month within a specific year, e.g. 3rd
September 1992) also seems to be hard or impossible in HTML 5... unless
I've
misread the spec.
Orthodoxy has it that there is no use case for marking up an ancient date
or "fuzzy date" like "June 2009" using <time>. I disagree, and this has
been discussed many times before. Do you have any concrete use cases or
examples of how marking these up using <time> would be necessary?
