My thought for some time now is that the problem should be simplified a
little, maybe also the problem could be looked at a little differently
by trying to mark up datetime as all one thing which is great for a
machine, when really you should be trying to mark it up in a way humans
understand, date and time.

<span class="dtstart">
On <abbr class="date" title="2008-06-30">June 30th</abbr> 
at <abbr class="time" title="09:00+0100">9.00am</abbr>
</span>

Also using a prefix such as data:x does NOT really belong in a human
readable area such as a "title" does it?
