Aloha Andy, et al, Use cases for alternates could be as follows:
1. Amazon.com page on a book with alternate versions, e.g., http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789723107/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj 2. TED.com talks, which include links to mp4, zipped mp4 and itunes, e.g., http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/51 3. New York Times, which include links to single-page and print versions of articles, e.g., http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/13/business/13fed.html In particular, I am seeking a solution that can deal with different filetypes (audio vs. video) as well as content length. Let me include part of the original post: There hasn't been much lately regarding the 'alternates' discussion[1]. It seems that in the HTML spec[2], 'alternate' is meant as something the user can choose between, i.e., style sheets[3], and/or something the browser can try and render in a given rank order, i.e., objects[4]. The suggested use of <ol> for preference and <ul> for no preference is clever[1]. (this example modified from the wiki entry[1]) <ol class="alternates"> <li><a href="example.mp3" rel="enclosure alternate" type="audio/mpeg">MP3</a></li> <li><a href="example.wav" rel="enclosure alternate" type="audio/wav">WAV</a></li> <li><a href="example.mov" rel="enclosure alternate" type="video/quicktime">MOV</a></li> </ol> -- Sincerely, Jeff McNeill http://jeffmcneill.com/ On 12/12/07, Andy Mabbett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > Jeff McNeill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes > > >There hasn't been much lately regarding the 'alternates' discussion > [...] > >Any thoughts? > > What's the use-case? > > -- > Andy Mabbett > _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
