Now that hAtom is as far as it is I need to ditch key parts of my
example and convert to hAtom which is more thorough (albeit
missing parts I use internally like rel="enclosure" and rel="cite").
Though http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-enclosure doesn't have a
profile URI, there's no need to replicate that into hAtom, you can
just use rel-enclosure.
I've been using rel="enclosure" longer than the rel-enclosure
document has been around, and that's why it's in my example. I use
it to generate (Yahoo Media) enclosures in my RSS feed. And along
with rel="cite" I use it to generate a list of enclosures and
citations on my archive pages (e.g. http://www.solitude.dk/archives/
2005_11.php ).
With that said rel-enclosure doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It
says "relEnclosure is one of several microformats. By adding
rel="enclosure" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the
destination of that hyperlink is intended to be downloaded and
cached."
Perhaps the language isn't entirely clear here. I think Kevin's
intention was along the lines of "the destination is meant to be
downloaded can cached by the useragent." Kevin?
*Any* link indicates that the destination may be downloaded and
cached - that's the whole point of making a link. If it's not meant
to be downloaded there wouldn't be a link, and if it wasn't meant
to be cached the HTTP header would tell me so (and my browser would
handle it without me caring).
Enclosures have a different meaning. They are best compared to
attachments in e-mail. The enclosure is a part of the current
document and document+enclosure(s) should be seen as a whole. This
has great value when talking about blog posts (and hAtom) because
attachments are usually connected to a part of the page (a single
blog entry).
I don't care where I point my profiles to, but rel-enclosure isn't
what I mean when I use rel="enclosure".
I don't think your relEnclosure and http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-
enclosure are that different, they're just explained differently.
Also, I think they're close enough to be resolved. You want to work
on that?
