Merging it like that wouldn't be ideal for styling (we did toy with
the idea of dstart-2005-10-10T10:10:10-0100, for example).

The data- prefix would make the same data available to more than one
attribute too - rather than having to repeat the same data more than
once if it happens to be in the same element.

I'm not sure if it's really easier to understand, to be honest.
