I agree with you in concept, but the problem is that (I'm guessing) 99% of wiki, cms, and forum users will have no access to adding information into the <HEAD> so you are leaving all of them out in the cold. And I'll bet that the comprise the vast majority of content creators on the web. >> You could potentially use that in your markup, but using it with an 'empty' link wouldn't be something that I'd find appealing, I agree. I think a <div> encapsulting the user's content should do just fine, no? >> The microformats list and/or IRC channel are, I've found, a great place to discuss semantic XHTML in general. I'd encourage you to publish your data using whatever sensible scheme you deem appropriate, maybe after some discussion here and elsewhere. I'll be happy to do that, assuming I don't get shot down for posting discussions on the list for topics the group has decided not to support. :) -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ciaran McNulty Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 6:08 AM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] Visible Data...a Microformat requirement?

It'd take a lot to convince me that HEAD isn't the place for meta-data, for a start ;-) The similarities between this and [EMAIL PROTECTED]"alternate" are particularly striking, and so that's the solution that would immediately suggest itself to me. [EMAIL PROTECTED]"bookmark" [1] encapsulates some of the semantics of being an 'authoritative version' of an item (for instance in hAtom[2]). You could potentially use that in your markup, but using it with an 'empty' link wouldn't be something that I'd find appealing, YMMV. > I can do two things; implement it and probably get it wrong because > I'd not> have the benefit of feedback from the so many skilled people > involved in Microformats, or include in the Microformats process and get the feedback to make it (and others) the best they can be. The microformats list and/or IRC channel are, I've found, a great place to discuss semantic XHTML in general. I'd encourage you to publish your data using whatever sensible scheme you deem appropriate, maybe after some discussion here and elsewhere. -Ciaran McNulty [1] http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-bookmark#rel.3D.22bookmark.22 [2] http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Entry_Permalink _______________________________________________ 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
