* Currency symbol identification "from other part of the text"
This means that in "$25 dollars", we would mark up "$" as the currency
symbol. See
http://microformats.org/wiki/currency-brainstorming#Andy_Mabbett under
symbol bullet for an explanation of this.
* "Global" currency definition
This means that a currency can be defined once in the document (just
like you define once a global variable in a program) and then refer to
when needed, instead of locally defined every time. See for instance:
http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_spt_s1_d.htm where there is a
global legend "Products in Cents per Gallon", and then the numbers have
no currency symbol.
* Amount identification "from other part of the text"
This means that in "$25 dollars" or "twenty five USD dollars", we would
mark up 25 and twenty-five as amount so that it can easily be extracted
from the rest of the string. With a numerical value it may not be
necessary, with a textual representation, it may be necessary. So,
depending on the scope of the proposal (do we want to support textual,
another feature choice in the poll), this may be a related important
feature or not.
Hope this helps.
