Charles, I am emailing you directly on this because it appears you have not received earlier email sent on this subject.

Jumping straight to a *-brainstorming document is premature. There should first be a *-examples document where *real* *existing* examples of the content being published on the Web are documented. Second there should be a *-formats document where previous/current *formats* that attempt to solve the problem are documented. Neither of these have been created, and the process page is quite clear about this. 2. As far as I can tell, this is nothing but a link to a piece of media, in particular video. This is ignoring (since it doesn't even mention it), several existing standards and microformats: a. To indicate that the type of data being linked to is video, use the appropriate mime type, e.g. <a type="video/mpeg" href="show.mpg">...</a> b. rel-enclosure handles the "download this" semantic already. There is nowhere near enough justification for a new microformat for this. 3. AFAIK, there has been no attempt to work with this within the current media-metadata or video-metadata work/research. Rather than inventing a new media related microformat, please first understand existing work towards media microformats, and work within that research. http://microformats.org/wiki/media-metadata-examples This has been requested several times in this thread. Rather than creating new pages for a specific type of media microformat, please instead work on the media-metadata-* pages. There has been a lot of thinking by a lot of smart folks put into trying to figure out media-metadata (even just links), and ignoring that is blatant violation of the process -- don't ignore nor reinvent earlier work. I also noticed this: http://microformats.org/wiki/microshow 1. See above problems. 2. Please do not create a microformat page for something for which there isn't even a strawman specification in the *-brainstorming page. Shell pages like this one will be deleted.
