This is what I do for <time> handling in my Microdata parser (though
IIRC I also support all of the xsd:gFoo types too). I'd support adding
something like this to (X)HTML+RDFa 1.1, but I think it's too
HTML-specific to be added to Core.

Note that this should be trigger specifically by the <time> element,
and should not apply to all elements with a @datetime attribute. This
is because we probably wouldn't want to pick up @datetime on <ins> and
<del>.
