Is the hCard format supposed to contain all classes as specified in
the
vCard RFC unless otherwise specified? Or is it limited in scope to
what has
actually been mentioned?
For the most part, yes. Just realize that it is definitely still a
work in progress, so if there are properties which no one has needed
yet, then they probably haven't been addressed.
Key is mentioned specifically in the spec, but there doesn't seem
to be any
definition indicating how exactly it should be implemented. What
kind of
key to use? Is there a link to a file or base64 encoded inline?
You might want to explain what key is and why people should care (ie,
what it would be used for).
Is class="hcard" ever used?
no.
The spec does not specifically address the use of handles or
usernames, so I
was wondering about input about this.
There are a number of websites that will allow a user to have both a
username and to enter their real name. Many of these sites do not
display
the real name to normal users, or possibly in normal browsing. It
would
seem to make sense to display the username in the "fn" so that you
have:
<span class="fn nickname">Atamido</span>
Now, if an admin is looking at the same profile information, it
would be far
easier on the backend design to have it simply add the real name
before the
user name like this:
<span class="fn">Paul Bryson</span>
<span class="fn nickname">Atamido</span>
Would this be appropriate?
This is how we typically do it, but we may not have documented it
anywhere. If you could add an entry to http://microformats.org/wiki/
hcard-faq about this, it'd be great.
thanks,
