Yeah, I would like to be able to understand what the list is "about", so something like a title would give a good descriptive meaning to what the items in the list relate to.
For instance the title could be "Favorite Films", obviously the LI's would then be order of the favorites. Title was one of the only attributes that I thought could be used to determine what the list is about. I was also initially thinking about putting a class attribute saying something like "positive" or "negative" for the ordering of the elements in the list. It is just that I would like to be able to write a progam that can parse lists of information that has a meaning so that I can merge more than one list together. Obviously OL, LI inferes a kind of semantic meaning, and I could already use the OL's without getting everyone to adopt a new format such as rel=tag etc. I am just looking into ideas and trying to see if people already do this kind of thing.

Yeah, that absolutely sounds like the right way to go. I'm not quite clear on what you're using 'title' for, though. Do you have multiple lists per page, and need a way to differentiate the title of the list from the title of the page? -- Ernie P. > > Would people be able to suggest other ways they would consider looking > for ordered information. i.e do you think that there would be any > semantic meaning to the posistion of elements in an xoxo formatted > listing or OPML. > > Kind Regards, > Paul Kinlan > http://www.kinlan.co.uk > _______________________________________________ > microformats-discuss mailing list > microformats-discuss@microformats.org > http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
