Is it correct to use the <time> tag for displaying dates in HTML5

Question

Is it correct this code for displaying a date?

<time class="entry-date" datetime="2010-09-27T10:50:15+00:00" pubdate>27/09/2010</time>

Answer 1

Yup - that's correct. Have a look at this draft spec to see the valid date time strings: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#global-dates-and-times.

Your time represents 27th September 2010, 3:00pm UTC.
