Google maps display

Google places uses this format to *display* the opening hours, and then applies some javascript to hide the lines which are not immediately useful: The translate the day names and the time formats into the users locale.

This is clearly rendered data for end user consumption and not a format one can use to establish a standard.

See an example here with opening hours: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=17374953169507020841
