what about html5's datetime attribute?
(would only be of use in html5 though)
There is a datetime attribute (on a very select few elements) in HTML4.
The trouble is that you are required to specify a full date/time, of
which only one type for format is accepted, which is too narrow for
our needs.
I presume that there are similar issues with the HTML5 standard too.
Yes, the TIME element with the DATETIME attribute in the HTML5 /draft/
(it's not a standard yet!) is not a duration, but a specific point in time:
