The spec draws the line already -- it says that the date has to be in the

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!
