Huh? "Would it exist on its own?" There are plenty of hCards that
exist on their own, sans-vCards. See http://microformats.org/wiki/
hcard#Examples_in_the_wild.
I think maybe Sam meant as a separate document, outside of a larger
XHTML document. This isn't common use of hcard, but it's possible.
I do it in AJAX applications.
Here's the main rule:
"The basic format of hCard is to use vCard object/property names in
lower-case for class names, and to map the nesting of vCard objects
directly into nested XHTML elements."
All the structured types (ADR, GEO, ORG,..) have names assigned to
what
are ';' seperated fields. The above rule would give:
<JOE class="ORG">Company;Unit;Sub-Unit</JOE>
No, you would use the names for the sub-properties, and lower-case
the class names.
Right, those are listed here:
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Property_List
And they are applied according to the general rule (as lower-case
class names).
Maybe we should have a "Where's the rest of the spec?" FAQ? I expect
others coming from a background in XML formats rather than XHTML
could easily experience the same confusion Sam had.
Peace,
Scott
