In Italy, they use a "." for the separator instead of a colon. The tags using a time string need to allow for a locale attribute so that the syntax can be determined, OR this syntax needs to be extended to cover all the variations in the world.

If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the Editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the Tracker Issue; or you may create a Tracker Issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: No change. Rationale: The idea is that the on-the-wire format is not locale-specific but always in an unambiguous globally machine-readable format defined basically by ISO. The UI can be locale-specific, but that's up to the UA. (There's a separate bug about allowing the page to request specific locales' UIs, but that's different.)
