I have applied a trial hCalendar to a template in Wikipedia:

  <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-examples-in-wild#New_Examples>

As explained here:

  <http://microformats.org/wiki/mediawiki-mark-up-issues#Dtend>

There are problems in outputting non-inclusive "dtend" properties, using
MediaWiki software (I found the same problem with events on this
'wiki').

Life would be a *lot* simpler if the rule was to display the actual
data, and required /parsers/ to advance it by one day when exporting to
vCard, as previously suggested here:

  <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-issues#Issues>

and:

  <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-brainstorming#Simplification_of_date-end>

This would also address a further (and less discussed) accessibility
issue with the use of "abbr".
