My opinion is this sounds like a great idea! Will you be doing the edit on the current proposal?
I am surprised however at the number of people who felt "Currency unit/denomination used identification" was important and it seems like an edge case to me. I'm hoping that this become an optional aspect as opposed to always required, and the same with amount, actually. Also, will the current spec worry about the other concerns so as not to eliminate the possibility of including them later, or by asking am I just removing the benefit of "focusing on the top 3" by asking? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lebleu Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 6:07 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: [uf-discuss] currency quickpoll results and suggested next step See below the results for "What do you think are the [4] most important features [out of 8] for the currency proposal?" Thank you to all who have participated. My recommended next step is to edit the current proposal so that it focuses only on the 3 top features below, with the goal to get a first version, lean yet functional, officially approved as soon as possible, and push back the other features to a subsequent version. Let me know what you think. Guillaume --- Unanimity (100%): * Identification of currency used (ex. US dollars versus Canadian dollars) Majority (50% and more): * Currency unit/denomination used identification (ex. dollar versus cent, pound versus shilling) - 62.5% * Amount identification from other part of the text - 62.5% Divided (50%): * Global currency definition (ex. all amounts in table are in US dollars) * Support for combination with units (ex. $34 per gallon, $2 per miles) Minority (50% and less) * Currency symbol identification from other part of the text (ex. "$" is the dollar sign) - 12.5% None (0%) * Dated money amounts (ex. Five 1929 US dollars) * Support for non-numerical representation (ex. 10 dollars 99 cents, five pounds 23 pence) _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
