Perhaps we could solve this by changing the value of the abbr title attribute to a different, widely used date format that is both machine and date friendly? Take the JS date format, for instance?
Not everyone uses the same calendar. For example there are lot of blogs in Persian/Iranian/Farsi. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Blog ... In these cases, often the machine format (notably Atom/RSS) will use ISO-8601 and suchlike; while the human-facing text will often use a 'local' calendar. I don't have stats handy but I doubt this can be dismissed as a corner-case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calendar#The_relevance_of_the_calendar_today suggests this is also an issue in China.
