(I wish I could remember what happened to my memory!) As explained in my original post in this thread, I now think that the specific suggestion to use "vcard-with-no-children" is unworkable. >The largest problem we have to deal with is one Brian Suda's criticism of >the idea Aside from Brian's issues with your specific example, his key comment seemed to be: Either #1 you are trying to save bytes (which IMHO is not a good reason) or #2 you are trying to make publishing easier... so if we are going to work under the assumption of #2 lets, try to avoid the whole "HTML Bloat" discussion. While I think bloat *is* an issue (more specifically, a disincentive to publishers to use microformats), I thinks that the two go hand in hand, and that this proposal does address his latter point, of ease of publishing. -- Andy Mabbett _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
