So you don't see the fact that *NO* current UA (particularly screen 
readers) recognises ISO dates and turns them into fluffy human readable 
output as a problem? And you're saying that you'd rather knowingly 
inflict a "little bit of pain" on end users in a move to force UA 
vendors to change their behaviour to ease that pain? Or am I misreading 
that part?
