Jim O'Donnell: "I don't know if anyone else agrees, but my own rule of thumb for a title attribute is 'if you read it aloud to the person next to you, would they understand it?' For IS0 8601 dates, that test is only going to work if the person sitting next to you is a dalek." - spotted on a haccessibility comment thread.
I came across that, via this: "Removing Microformats from bbc.co.uk/programmes." (or more accurately removing uF using the abbr/date techniques). The abbr/date thing is never going to go away.

Never go away? Doesn't HTML 5 add a date/time element? That should make it... well, easier at least.
In theory screen readers could also read the title in a meaningful way. But for some reason screen readers seem to be largely disconnected from markup.
