Description

There was a change in the HTML5 draft today, leading to the removal of <time>, now replaced by <data> (see ticket ​here)

Today in twentyeleven we use <time pubdate datetime=""></time>, and the new draft suggests the following:
<data itemprop="datePublished" value=""></data>

While many (me included) do not necessarily agree with the changes, I would suggest the following patch.

I'd be happy to have a second opinion though.

Thanks.

  • Component changed from Themes to Bundled Theme

Suggest waiting on this until the standard becomes more standard, since a lot of people are against the removal of <time>. Won't hurt to wait a few months.

Agreed with Otto42. Let's let it settle upstream.

Agree with Otto. Plus, this change could affect child themes. Their authors may need some time to prepare.
