Bob, thanks for the link, given the RDF output, I would imagine RDFa or 
eRDF would be more straightforward for them to add than microformats.
The site seems sparse on working code or examples, and I haven't even tried to download the 
developer package (needs a "developer key" -- not so Open, IMHO)
  
I gave it a quick try. Seems to me very specific to financial/business 
news, but the roadmap says the 3rd party extensibility to other domains 
will be available later this year.

[uf-discuss] Calais: a POSH project?

[uf-discuss] n-optimisation: not for "role"

2008-02-02 Thread Andy Mabbett

The "n" optimisation rules (nickname, fn) should not apply where the fn
is also the role:


Webmaster:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
[EMAIL PROTECTED]




Duty Manager:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
[EMAIL PROTECTED]



since, in these examples, "Webmaster" is not a nickname, "Duty" is not a
given-name and "Manager" is not a family-name.

I'll add this to -issues.
