My use-case is that I'm automating the embedding of media from other sites into a third-party site [1]. Some sites have requested that we include their Terms and Conditions (T&C) and Privacy Policy links next to the content, thus I'd like a way to automatically discover this.
I propose a single new @rel value, 'privacy' thus: <a rel="privacy" href="privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a> <a rel="license" href="tc.html">Terms and Conditions</a> IANAL, so I'm not entirely clear if there are subtle differences between a license and T&C, but here I assume T&C are always licenses. These links are ubiquitous throughout the web, and I believe there are even some legal domains which require sites to have such links. [2] There is a related @rel for machine-readable privacy policies: http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/ which proposes embedding such a file in many ways, one of which would be: <link rel="P3Pv1" href="http://catalog.example.com/P3P/PolicyReferences.xml"> but this is outside of my use-case, since it's a machine-readable form. Thoughts? cheers, sky [1] If you want to know more, see: http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/mediathread more or less the oEmbed use case, but even when a oEmbed url is not available) http://www.oembed.com/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy#Applicable_US_law _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list microformats-new@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
