Operating Hours Brainstorming
This should be moved to operating-hours-brainstorming.
This section documents a method that can be used to mark up the operating hours of stores, restaurants, museums, offices, and other establishments that have set hours and are open on a regular basis. This is based on the hCalendar microformat.

Introduction
This effort came about as a result of the need for a human and machine readable markup format that can be used to define the operating hours of establishments.
Stores, businesses, etc. often provide their operating hours on their websites. With the addition of a small bit of markup, they are able to define their operating hours on their websites in such a way that spiders and other aggregators can retrieve such hours, automatically convert them to the iCalendar format, and use this data in any iCalendar application or service.
Using RRULE in hCalendar
This was suggested [1] by Brian. Is this the most appropriate method? --Nick
