It should though, be possible to safely use this model: <span class="money"> <abbr class="currency" title="USD">$</abbr> <span class="amount">39.99</span> </span> (where the value of "currency" is an ISO abbreviation) An alternative to the (ab)use of ABBR has been proposed, which would mean: <span class="money"> <span class="currency"> <span class='value-title' title='USD'> </span> $ </span> <span class="amount">39.99</span> </span> though this isn't yet widely taken up by microformat parsers. There is then the issue of how to associate an amount of money with an item of expense; and perhaps with a date and a person. It should be easy to derive a microformat-type schema for such uses; which could then be published on <http://poshformats.org/>. -- Andy Mabbett Says "NO! to compulsory UK ID Cards": <http://www.no2id.net/> and: "Free Our Data": <http://www.freeourdata.org.uk> (both also on Facebook) _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
