I'm waiting for someone to express a stronger opinion or principle
on how elements should be named, preferably with a reference to a
Wiki page listing it. At this point, there's serious proposals to
rename 75%+ of the elements in hAtom, which means hAtom won't look
very Atomish at all! However, if there's a consensus, that's the
way it goes.
I assume you're referring to the suggestion that elements get
prefixed with atom- and/or entry-
I have a couple of responses to this idea (which I think I've already
gone over on this list, but anyway...):
First, its just ugly. I just want to say 'entry,' not 'atomentry.'
Second, I believe that context and specific rules on opacity are
sufficient for making thing unambiguous. Admittedly, with
microformats we tend to walk a fine line here, but its not without
reason- we're trying to optimize for publishers- which mainly
includes geeks who hand-write html in textareas and web developers/
designers.
I'm sure I have other responses, but can't think of them right now
(they're probably in the archive somewhere).
