You almost had me convinced until you said this. It seems very strange to me that something that is supposed to be 'semantically equivalent' is parsed in very different ways between two Microformats. If things are semantically equivalent, why aren't they parsed in the exact same way? To illustrate the implications of calling two things the same thing when they are different: Here's a duck, it quacks and floats on water. Here's another duck, it whinnies and gallops on land. If two things have to be parsed in different ways, how can they be semantically equivalent? I would have no problem with using 'fn' if it didn't have all of the parsing cruft from hCard. If something is parsed differently, isn't it intrinsically different? -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list microformats-new@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
