Opinions / discusion:
- +1 Faruk (per Bug 7145 - Valid date strings should accept ambiguous inputs, like "2009" or "2007-01") One example is the very common archive view found on most blogs, which contain distinct links or headers for each year, each month per year, and often each date within a chosen or highlighted month. Currently, the
<time>element only allows fordatetimevalues as precise as a specific day, e.g. YYYY-MM-DD. - -1 Hixie - "Without clear use cases, I don't intend to change the spec here." (ibid)
