The formulation "precisedate" suggests that it is not, but an example says that "the year is not marked up at all, since marking it up would not be particularly useful", implying (IMHO) that it would be _possible_ to use <time> markup for it. Posted from: 88.114.29.18 45327 1 jackalmage 2011-02-09 16:15:53 +0000 No, the <time> element either represents a date (year-month-day) or a time or a datetime. The language in that example is misleading, though - it does indeed suggest that it would be *possible* to only mark up the year. 46288 2 ian 2011-03-04 01:58:00 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
