Could you elaborate on what your use case is?

The reason I ask is that we are thinking of dropping <time> from the spec. 
If there's a good reason to keep it, that would be good to know.

Please note that the above is an obsolete out-of-date link.

I strongly encourage you to use this spec:

   http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element

...or, if you must use the W3C copy, this one:

   http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element

You should always exercise great care when looking at the TR/ page as 
drafts on the TR/ page are almost always out of date.

(There's a big warning to that effect on the page you cited above -- was 
the warning not clear enough? That would be good to know.)

Things that are impossible just take longer.   `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
