I've had a play at applying this to my weblog[1]. One question I would
like to ask is about the author field. I currently have my name tagged
with dc-author and foaf-name on the main page. I think the dc-author is
non-standard in the body and used in this way. The foaf-name is
experimental based on a generalised microformat for rdf, which of course
is not microformat because it is too general.
I see that hAtom currently recommds the use of a hcard. I could add this
in as well, but what does a hcard mean when floating around on a web
page? I'm also uneasy about including a <span class="vcard"></span>
section in the document. Not all of the relevant information is in one
place.
I have issues about this too, but it's not required. You are free to do ...
<address>Ben</address>
... and leave it at that.
To address the deeper issue you're getting at, once I'm clear of hAtom,
I was thinking of pushing the concept of "rel-bookmark" defining the
"best location for this microformat object". This could be used like this:
<address class="vcard">
<span class="fn">Benjamin Carlyle</span>,
<a rel="bookmark" href="http://.../#mycard";>My hCard</a>
</address>
Urrgh. I'm not quite getting this out right, but what is the most
straightforward way to say "This page and everything in it was authored
by Benjmain Carlyle"? :)
I think there's been some discussion of this. Maybe something like (?):
<head>
<link rel="vcard" href="http://.../#mycard"; />
</head>
I don't want to add a URL. Why should I? You're already at my home page.
I don't want to add an email address, or not a precisely valid one. I
don't want to attract spam. Technorati has the only photo I display, and
that is provided by javascript I don't control. I can't directly
reference it. I just want to quickly make a few assertions and have them
picked up by a hAtom parser.
or
<address class="vcard">
<span class="fn">Benjamin Carlyle</span>
</address>
Regards, etc...
David
PS. Extra for hCard experts -- valid or not?
<address class="vcard fn">Benjamin Carlyle</address>
