Any page which says "used to be worth", "was paid" "used to earn", "then valued at", etc., etc. It could also be used to mark up current prices, on pages which are not likely to be updated when the value referred to changes (e.g. reviews [5]), or simply devalues through inflation (e.g. news stories [6], [7]). >I'm sure there are examples of dated currency published on the web, >but I suspect they are far under 20% of the currency values published.

There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be completed and adopted; there is no "unnecessary complexity". >[1] http://microformats.org/wiki/currency-brainstorming >[2] http://microformats.org/wiki/currency-examples [3] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleak_House#Original_publication> [4] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922_in_Germany#Inflation_and_Repercussions> [5] <http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/reviews/rarer.htm> [6] <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/911569.stm> [7] <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1096916.stm> -- Andy Mabbett Say "NO!" to compulsory ID Cards: <http://www.no2id.net/> Free Our Data: <http://www.freeourdata.org.uk> _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
