Hmm, while we're discussing this, you might look at the meeting minutes discussion as I believe that there's much to be gained from cross-polinating the discussions...
Just as meeting minutes need to capture the who and what of a moment, so too do you want to capture similar things, with the addition of geo info (which could be an optional aspect of meeting minutes, for example, if a speaker is jacked in over Skype in another locality). http://microformats.org/wiki/meeting-minutes-brainstorming Chris On 6/2/06, Hans Gerwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I agree completely, but this isn't a blogging scenario in question. My next theme rollout will include hAtom and this post will be marked with the publication time, and maybe the publication place. But the use case I'm presenting is quite different. I could imagine producing a feed that exposed all the "moments" and events I've published, and perhaps that would transfer the time and location data to hAtom hentries. But it doesn't smell right to embed an hentry in the content, as this moment is not a feed entry (in context). An analogue case: if you describe a conference presentation you just attended, you might want to embed an vevent for the presentation. I don't think anyone would suggest that hAtom is meant to replace anything that has time and location! Similarly, I think the next best microformat for my use case here would be an vevent, but RFC 2445 says otherwise. Why should I pretend that the moment I'm describing is a scheduled event with a start and end time, or an item in a syndication list?
