Hi Martin,

It's not so much about "what to try" as the BBC using the hCalendar on
a new, very large site and not wanting to use a format that is either
likely to change (if the abbr pattern is changed/dropped) or causes
accessibility issues.  They just want to help push through the current
discussion with some real data.

Hopefully, this issue can be resolved *very soon* - I'd hate to see
/programmes have to drop their microformat implementation because of
one, relatively small, aspect of one format.

Thanks, though!
