I was taking a look at ADR and thinking about context.
Say I want to make more of an effort to contextualize my blog
postings. I referenced the city I live in - Salem - and would like
to state that it is, indeed the city of Salem, MA.
First, can I even label Salem outside of adr?
<p>Unbelievable. Yesterday's high temperature in <span
class="locality">:Salem</span> it was 57 degrees out. </p>
This is certainly valid, semantic, markup.
or should I simply make it
<p class="adr">Unbelievable. Yesterday's high temperature in <span
class="locality">Salem</span> it was 57 degrees out. </p>
But I'd say that his is more semantic, because you're reusing the
semantics of http://microformats.org/wiki/adr.
Or would that confuse anyone processing the content to think the
whole paragraph is an address.
Anyone parsing that should only be looking for the adr subproperties,
so they *shouldn't* be confused.
Likewise, has anyone thought about using proper semantics to
abbreviate regions? I looked in the logs and didn't see any chatter.
i.e.
<span class="locality">Any Town</span>, <abbr class="region"
title="California">CA</abbr>
I don't think there's been any discussion of this, but I've seen
examples of people doing precisely this. So, you're not alone here.
Just thinking out oud. Comments and responses welcome.
