Early in December, I made the following suggestion, but in a separate, and unclearly-titled thread.
I'm reposting it here, in a new thread, in the hope that it will warrant discussion: #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# While I understand the desire to avoid namespacing per se, using: <span class="duration" title="value:PT2M23S">2:23</span> or <span class="dtstart" title="value:20070912T16:03:00+01:00"> 4.03pm </span> would render the title both more semantically accurate and human-readable. It would also enable the users of assistive technologies to hit the "next" button as soon as they hear "value colon" read out, bypassing the machine-readable fragment. Parsers "MUST" ignore titles not starting with "value:", thereby ensuring compatibility with titles used on spans, for other purposes. In the above "value:" is just as suggestion; the label could be "machine-value:", "data-equivalent:", or some other such word or phrase. This suggestion may case problems for non-English speakers, though. Perhaps "data:" would be more internationally recognised? #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# Having had time to reflect, the latter would now be my preference. -- Andy Mabbett _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
