Hi guys,
http://usabletype.com/articles/2005/usable-microformats/
I searched the entire article for "none" both in the text and the
code and
didn't find any instances. Therefore there is no use of
"display:none" and
no hidden text via CSS.
That page does in fact include a vCard which is hidden via an
external style sheet with something like:
address .vcard {display:none;}
As said before, microformats encourage the use of *visible data*, not
invisible (meta)data, and thus microformats agrees with the
position that
you should NOT use CSS to hide microformatted content.
This is a concept I hadn't heard voiced before, and I guess I agree
in principle.
However, microformats could be powerful tool for marking up invisible
meta data. It's machine readable, and essentially human readable as
well. The only difference is the author has chosen to hide it in
their presentation of the document.
Cheers,
Andy Hume
