time element spec issues

expand time

• expand <time> and new date/time <input> elements to be consistent and reflect more real world use cases
  • impedance match. handle the same set of year, month, date, time variants/subsets between the two. what is taken as input is nearly always displayed as output - the use cases are analogous/parallel.
  • more inputs/times. expand both time/input to handle additional real world cases
    • YYYY
    • --MM-DD

nesting time

for better DRY:

• improve <time> element to support uses analogous to the microformats "value class pattern" date and time separation use case (compose nested <time> elements into a single date and time)
  • perhaps even use a <time> to compose multiple nested date/time <input> elements for specific date/time components into a single date and/or time.
