title: HTML time tag for duration
body: <p>I need to display the duration of a video. Should I use <code>&lt;time&gt;</code> or should it be used only for displaying time as in a clock?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example</strong></p>
  
  <p>Is this correct HTML5?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Duration: &lt;time&gt;3:30 min&lt;/time&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or should <code>&lt;time&gt;</code> be used only on a situation like this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Good morning. The actual time is: &lt;time&gt;9:45&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Docs</strong></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/time" rel="noreferrer">MDN</a> presents the following definition:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The HTML  element represents either a time on a 24-hour clock or a precise date in the Gregorian calendar (with optional time and timezone information).
    This element is intended to be used presenting dates and times in a machine readable format. This can be helpful for user agents to offer any event scheduling for user's calendar. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, the definition in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/time.html" rel="noreferrer">W3C</a> is somewhat different, and it refers duration:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Specifies the date or time that the element represents.</p>
    
    <p><strong>Value:</strong> Any one of the following: </p>
    
    <ul>
    <li><p>(...)</p></li>
    <li><p>a valid duration string as defined in the [HTML5] specification</p></li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Examples:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PT4H18M3S
  
  4h 18m 3s
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So, I'm not sure if I should be using <code>&lt;time&gt;</code> in this situation or not. Any thoughts?</p>
