Hi John, In my mind, the question is if there wasn't an IE issue, how would we do it? Given that observation, I then see these three points:
- the IE issue will be marginal in 24 months (I hope) because of IE 7 - uFs are mostly about standardized _semantics_ rather than providing standardized _presenation_ - rel-tag + rating from hReview covers what we want to do semantically; i.e. reuses existing practices Therefore, I would suggest that hTagcloud say that: "presentation is orthogonal to what we're trying to do -- provide semantic markup of tag clouds. Tag cloud implementers should come up with their own best way of handling the presentaion -- in fact, they probably already have! As a bonus, as soon as MS gets its act together you'll be able to do the presentation directly off the semantics, but we're not there yet". Regards, etc...

I do discuss this in some detail in the article http://microformatique.com/?page_id=34 title exists for "advisory information", while class for "general purpose processing". so, one important issue is is title="vv-popular" for example, more correct HTML than class="vv-popular" ? j John Allsopp style master :: css editor :: http://westciv.com/style_master blog :: dog or higher :: http://blogs.westciv.com/dog_or_higher WebPatterns :: http://webpatterns.org Web Directions Conference :: Sydney September 28-29 :: http://wd06.com _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
