David Janes mumbled the following on 21/09/2006 00:52:
I'm seeing this:
<span class="email"><span class="spamprevention
username">kwilson</span>@<span class="spamprevention
domain">3color.org</span></span>
in a vCard [1]. Good. No good? I'm guessing the latter.
while splitting the e-mail address into parts is not part of the uf as I
understand it, I can understand why this has been done, as it does, IME,
greatly reduce spam.
I once displayed an email address webmaster@ so that the w was big and bold:
<span class="bigandbold">W</span>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
When the junk mail arrived, the to: only contained [EMAIL PROTECTED] Clearly
the spam harvesters were looking for the @ sign, then cropping up to the
nearest HTML delimter. Following on from this, using:
me<span>@</span>example.com
means they would only harvest the @ sign. Using the kwilson example
you've given is just 1 step further forward on from that, using the same
idea, but making the markup more semantic. I have to say, I've seen this
example before, and I do employ this method on some of my sites.
