In addition to Patrick's valid concerns about house style; I would again
point out that "dtend" is exclusive; microformats currently (and
wrongly, from a semantic and accessibility PoV) require:

        Q1 '07: <span class="dtstart">2007-01-01</span> through <abbr
        class="dtend" title="2007-04-02">2007-04-01</abbr>

I have proposed a solution to this problem:

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

but it has, so far, been ignored.
