in reply to Not using "non-breaking hyphen" U+8209 in timestamps

As (one of?) the reported failures of the Wii browser's rendering of ‑, I was surprised at the quick patch to fix this (thank you, BTW). I don't intend to use the Wii for my normal browsing (definitely needs a keyboard - the controller just does not do it :-), but was playing around with a new "toy" to see what it could do.

Does this fix have value beyond just a couple of "fringe" browsers? It seems, from your commentary here that there are a couple of other nagging problems that this fixes as well. Is that correct?

    Yes, there are places where dates are used where HTML is not allowed, for example, in <span title="$date">.
