I haven't, but I'd be inclined to use the <date> element, with the  
'normal' attribute adhering to iso 8601, as in

yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm (e.g., 2004-09-30T18:30)

Two possible problems:
   * If you're using a schema to validate 'normal' values, the  
schema's pattern testing may not account for the time portion, and so  
you would have a validation error.
   * It's not clear whether a colon is allowed as an attribute value  
for anything other than an XML namespace, so some validators/parsers  
may complain.

It's permissible not to use the component separators in the date  
value, according to 8601, but I think that option presents parsing  
difficulties unless you know you have uniform date values.

Best,
Brian
