HTML5 dumps TIME element – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report.

This is one of those WTF moments eh?

“It’s with great sadness that I inform you that the HTML5 <time> element has been dropped, and replaced by a more generic – and thus less useful – <data> element. The pubdate attribute has been dropped completely, so there is now no simple way to indicate the publication date of a work.”
