Here's the IRC log regarding the change to the wiki:
http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats/IRC/2008-02-07#T010220
I don't consider that to be adequate period of discussion; and I don't
consider that forum alone to be an adequate forum for discussion of such
a major issue.
What would happen if I implemented one of my outstanding - and nowhere
near as harmful - proposals in that way?
Why has it not been reverted yet? If I had any faith that this was truly
an open community, I would do so myself.
I agree with the change
I agree with the general principle behind the change. I don't agree with
the method of implementation, or with changing the spec in a way which
has such wide- reaching implications, and backwards-compatibility
issues, with out doing adequate research, and giving ample warning,
first. I don't agree with making the change wholesale rather than
examining the implications in each type of use, And I don't agree with
changing the way several microformats work, by amending the
parsing-rules page for one of them.
- I don't agree with not running it past the
microformats-new list.
It's not just about new microformats, but also existing microformats; it
should be discussed here, too.
It seems like a fairly far-reaching
change/update. It invalidates the need for "mfo" in hcard, doesn't it?
If it were applied to the rest of Microformats, it would invalidate the
need for "mfo" entirely.
It also break some previously-valid implementations.
There are logs - so it would be wrong to say the decision was made in
private, it was done on IRC, without notification to microformats-new.
Who said it was made in private?
