Isn't it already sitting out in the open for the search to have picked it up? Publishing-side spam protection is generally a placebo.
To be clear, here's the hCard I'm talking about: http://mokolabs.com/about/ The email isn't sitting out in the open... it's entity-encoded to begin with, so I can prevent *basic* spam harvesting. ... So what I'd like to see is a minimum amount of protection... which I think entities will provide. If people are going to entrust their contact info to hCards, services like Technorati should take *some* steps to prevent spam harvesting. We're not gonna solve the spam problem, entities won't stop all harvesters, a new email address will eventually get spammed, etc. But let's try to do the right thing. :) Best, Patrick _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
