Just to say that hCalendar is used fairly extensively to describe
broadcasts on bbc.co.uk/programmes here:

Having said that it's not been through accessibility testing yet so it
might not be for long...
It will be interesting to know the outcome of that testing, in the light
of mark-up like:
<abbr class="dtstart" title="2007-12-12T16:03:00Z">
16:03
</abbr>
and the issues raised here:
<http://www.webstandards.org/2007/04/27/haccessibility/>
I know it defeats the object semantically speaking but what are the
other arguments against putting the machine-readable date/time in the
class attribute and do they outweigh the gain in accessibility?
For example, what's wrong with this:
<abbr class="dtstart:2007-12-12T16:03:00Z" title="3 minutes past 4pm, 12th
December 2007">
16:03
</abbr>
Since no solution is ideal with the current HTML flavours people use is
there any work being done with regard to the new HTML specs like HTML5?
A <DATE> element or data="" attribute for example?
