Hi all,

What if I was to mark up the form (and fields) with hCard classes?
Good idea? Bad idea? I strikes me that it could be useful for auto-
complete applications, but not sure if it would ‘pollute’ the web
with effectively a useless/empty hCard when the form is published.
There's various related bits of discussion on this in and around these
pages:

To be precise, it is here:

I'm definitely a fan of uf-marking input forms, as it does allow both
i) meaningful output, and ii) hypermedia-driven markup.
Though, I am curious how the various parsers out there would/should
treat empty fields...

By giving more structure to Forms you are accomplishing several
things... the posibility to do some sort of introspection on data
inputs. This would be a boon to spammers, you are using hForm, now
they can easily paste their structured spam data into your comments
fields. (i know using obscure fields names is not security - but it is
a hurdle to automation). The other cool thing extracting data from a
form gets you, is to build things like OpenSearchDescriptions, and/or
other formats. I don't think there is critial mass on the web for
these sorts of actions because things become so specialised.
