OK Toby :-) , lets agree to differ, I think that because rev=made has
been so badly abused and its definition in html is unclear compared to
the foaf definition of made, I have dropped rev=made completely, (it
makes my head hurt thinking about it), In favour of rev=author which
is used to link from your homepage to things that you have authored.
I really don't like the above approach because, in short I would like to
us an @rel value
So I would like to discuss a new microformat to link from your homepage
to a page or website that has been made by you.
You see this kind of thing a lot in the wild, how many web designers
have portfolio pages linking to pages that the web designer has made, a
lot .
I would like to propose something new rel="made-by"
<a href="http://somesite.com/"; rel="made-by">some site</a>
would translate as.....
<http://somesite.com/> is made by the referring page..
Some will argue for rel="author", cool great, but It wont work on your
homepage, only on pages you authored.
<a href="http://somesite.com/"; rel="author>some site</a>
would translate as.....
<http://somesite.com/> is author of the referring page..
Anyway are there any thoughts on how to approach this issue?
Thanks
