It keeps coming up every 6 months for a reason. the tags apply to the links...exactly my point, the same way the tags apply to the review, or the tags apply to the listing, or the tags apply to the feed, or the tags apply to the feed element, or the tags (categories) apply the calendar appointment. All of those examples are documented on the wiki, with the exception of the link.

What I'm suggesting would relax the need to know which formats use tags. The parser would just liberally attach the tags to the parent element, either the page, or the microformat they occurred within...assuming compound formats, not the atomic variety (hReview, hListing, hAtom,...)

It is worth considering that you don't need microformats to extract data from del.icio.us; it's available in purely semantic form as RSS. Also: rel-tag doesn't capture the data delivered by del.icio.us in the way that is being disucssed; the tags apply to the links from del.icio.us, not to the page as a whole. ~D _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?
