If you've got some examples on the wild other than LinkedIn, can you please forward links? I'd like to make a note of it and add those examples to the wiki.

Unfortunately, in this first pass, we were unable to mark up skills according to the hResume specification. This is because we've always allowed free-form text for what we call "specialties" and while all of our examples show a comma delimited list of of keywords, it's not enforced and a lot of users use this area for prose. Also, because hResume skills use rel-tag, we may end up needing to create our own tag space which isn't trivial and will require significant work on our end.

I've been brainstorming with James Levine of Simply Hired on skills in general and vetting those sessions with Brian. I need to distill some of those discussions and add them to the hResume Issues[2] and Brainstorming[3] pages. I hope to work on that today. 1. http://steve.ganz.name/blog/2007/01/linkedin-launches-hresume.html 2. http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume-issues 3. http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume-brainstorming _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
