See what has been done in ["duri" and "tdb" URN namespaces based on  
dated URIs][1]
         urn:tdb:<date>:<encoded-URI>

Then let's see if it is possible to do something like.

<object class="dtstart"
         data="urn:date:2005-01-25">January 25</object>

It could be easily defined at IETF.

And I wonder about
<a class="dtstart"
    href="urn:date:2005-01-25">January 25</a>
