I've read that, I don't see how it's pertinent: no tags and/or attributes are created. Indeed my proposal is simply a simplification/generalization of hCalendar and hCard using a very similar approach, but allowing to specify in a simple way source and destination of data. The benefits I see wrt current hCalendar are: - generality - simplicity and readability (without have to know the complex rules of hCalendar describing where the data might be located) - no overlapping with class name in use by consolidated css > Why not propose a fix to hcalendar, rather than starting from scratch? My proposal is exactly oriented toward this, to improve current hCalendar (as you can see the similarity between the two are much many than the differences...) I've never thought to start from scratch, I've started copying hcalendar, analyzing its current shortcomings and I've humbly proposed a solution (standing on the giant's shoulder...) I feel a subtle hostility wrt this improvement attempt, I'm wrong? -- Abramo Bagnara mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Opera Unica Phone: +39.0546.656023 Via Emilia Interna, 140 48014 Castel Bolognese (RA) - Italy _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
