If it was going to be done as an extension, usage of it would probably look something like:
<date day=2006-09-14 />
At least, I would say <date day="2006-09-14"/> to be compatible with current standards.
And I have some doubts that <date day="2006-09-14"/> would be better accepted by Wikipedians than <date>2006-09-14</date>. If you do a char count, both are equal, but your variant requires an equal sign, which smacks more of "programming" (generally disliked by a strong subset of Wikipedians). But this is just a sub-aspect, so for me I don't care that much.
