"If a property's value represents a date, time, or global date and time, the property must be specified using the datetime attribute of a time element."

Only requiring that a time element is used seems more appropriate, as in some cases the text content of <time> is already on the form YYYY-MM-DD and thus doesn't need to be overridden using datetime="".

On second thought the entire constraint is weird, filed http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13370 instead
