I have not yet studied "Related microformats" (I'll do it), but, if I
have understood the example, another proposal can be:
<span class="hlisting">
<span class="price">
<abbr class="unit money" title="USD">$</abbr>
<span class="value">25</span>
</span>
a <span class="item fn">barrel</span>
</span >
What do you think?
I don't think many are publishing the currency and the product
combined as in the first "USD per barrel" example, so it's a non-
starter. I think the ability of a machine to know what that "$10" is
a monetary amount, and which currency the "$" suggests is valuable
enough by itself. I suggest we leave the possibilities of combing it
with other types of data (e.g. products, dates, job listings, etc.)
to be explored after this basic standard gains some traction.
Peace,
Scott
