If you want to discuss HOW to actually encode attendee i sugest having
a look at the RFC and we can move forward from there.
I'm not too great with RFC's, but from what I can collect from it I
understand that in the iCalendar spec an attendee needs to reference
a person by their calendar address, which seems (from all the
examples) to be their e-mail address. Correct?
If that's the case, it's not very convenient for hCalendar (imo)
because I for one will definitely not want my e-mail address in the
source as attendee-identifier, nor would I put anyone else's in my
own source.
Since I'm not familiar at all with the technical nature of apps like
iCal and their limitations/requirements I don't know if this is
possible at all, but what I would _like_ to see in hCal is the
ability to just do this:
<span class="organizer">Faruk Ateş</span>
<span class="attendee">Brian Suda</span>
..and have both "organizer" and "attendee" (or multiples thereof —
there can be multiple organizers too, after all) just show up as a
list of names in the Attendees section.
I know that in iCal I _can_ add names of people that aren't in my
Address Book as attendees. It'll just list them as editable entities,
so I would reckon that my wish for hCal is technically possible (if
it can go into the app from manual input, why not from a different
source, right?).
As for the hCard side, I would say that compounding them is most
desirable:
<span class="vcard organizer">Faruk Ateş</span>
<span class="vcard attendee">Brian Suda</span>
You can always throw an anchor within the span with class="url fn"
for completeness, neh?
(again, if any– or everything I say is obvious and redundant, keep
in mind that I'm only just getting into microformats for real and am
not an RFC-kinda guy =))
Cheers,
Faruk
