This guy has some interesting and worthwhile things to say. However, his whole discussion seems to be predicated on the idea that, if the specs for the <time> element were changed appropriately, then everyone would follow the official standard.
A 10-second look at the web tells us this is not going to happen.
So, suppose some document is written indicating how the <time> element works. What reliable guarantees does that give us concerning the use of the <time> element on real web pages? Answer: None.
So, nice try, and an interesting article, but I really do not think it's going to work.
