So you want to be able to parse the generated html for further use?
Because else I don't get it why one should add such a date. I just image a 
disabled user with a screenreader stumbling upon the <abbr> tag (or wherever 
else you store the *extended* date) - would be quite a suprise in my opinion 
but then I dont use hCal much.
Who is interested in the time zone that was posted in except databases?
