[uf-discuss] Musicreviewz.org
Hi all I've recently been hacking together a site that will become musicreviewz.org http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org:2826/ It's a simple app that lets users sign in and review albums so long as: - the album exists in musicbrainz - they're happy to sign up to creative commons It still needs more work: more feeds, proper hosting and a dab of css if I can find a friendly designer Anyway, it uses rel-tag, rel-license, rel-home, rel-bookmark, hcard, hatom and hreview If you get 10 minutes can you take a look and let me know where I've gone wrong Cheers michael http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

It looks like you could just move the class=vevent to the tr and use standard nesting (i.e. put the event properties within the event element). Maybe I'm missing something?

RE: [uf-discuss] marking up table rows - carrying id through rows tocreate multiple unique .ics exports
Hello, This is more an accessibility issue, but I couldn't help noticing that you've marked up the event times as the row headings for each row. So the headings for 'santa monica' in the first row are 'location' and '0700 - 0800'. I think it would make more sense, particularly to assistive technology, if the event names were marked up as the row headings instead.

I am hoping to have multiple events on one page and want to give the user one option to download the class they want to attend and not all the classes. Do you create and id in the first element, then reference this in the headers= attribute? I can't seem to get it going and populating the ics file correctly.

(The last token of the path of the URL is the tag name. For example... the last token of the path of http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org:2826/tags/test; is test... and thus is the tag name.) You use of rel-bookmark also seems fine. (It's being used on the link to the articles.) Your hCards also seem fine. (You have them on the author of the articles.) The only minor criticism I have on your use of hAtom is that I probably would have put the entry-title on the h3 tag. h3 and entry-title say very similar things... but that's just a matter of style and not necessary. I'll let someone else take a look at the hReview stuff. See ya -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Vlog Razor...

To quote from the article: Current microformats unnecessarily limit “regular” web development. This may be somewhat true, but your supporting assertions are not: The hCard microformat alone theoretically blocks more than 20 class names is true only if you qualify it with when used in the context of an element that has the class name of 'vcard'. This has no conflict with hCard: !doctype html htmlspan class=titleNot a job title/span Again from the article: There is unnecessary cognitive load. Since this relies on the previous point, I don't think its valid. Authors only need to worry about root class names conflicting and using conflicting names within elements that have root class names on them. It's no where as bad as you make it sound. also, This is a very strict point of view, but seen mathematically, the microformat development will theoretically result in blocking every name available, is unfounded given the process [http://microformats.org/wiki/process] and ammounts to little more than FUD. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by mathematically? Do you mean, assuming unabated growth of microformats, we will eventually run out class names to use? If so, I think you're also assuming an infinite number of monkeys typing up random microformat specs (which use infinitely long class names (there's no limit on the length of class names)). Not only is this point practically wrong, but also wrong in theory. There are unnecessary layout risks. The larger the project and the more web decorators, designers, or developers involved, the greater the likelihood that there are unforeseen display problems when maintaining and extending the project. This is just a plain fact, independent of available measures. Microformats currently unnecessarily increase this likelihood as illustrated above, just due to the fact that they require developers who are aware of the constraints imposed by microformats. Again, this is just superfluous. The larger the project, the more need there is for markup best practices, and microformats present a set or markup best practices which can be shared from one workplace to another, not just within individual projects. I think microformats are a benefit to large projects, not a hinderance. Also, I don't see how your supporting points have anything to do with the layout of microformats in particular, it seems to be relevant to all markup practices. ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
