I agree, However some of the websites mentioned in this thread (RSVP, Lavalife, etc) are not free and if we want such sites to also be using this I think there should be a way for them to tell us the cost in their markup. If it is just assumed to always be free it is likely that some pay-to-contact sites may still try to use it to promote themselves much like some of the spam we see on usenet personals newsgroups. Giving pay-to-contact sites a way to use it legitimately by actually telling us the cost in their markup may help reduce the amount of fake "free personals" spam. I was just throwing some ideas into the discussion...sorry if some of it may have already been covered. I've been semi-away for a few days of very interesting festivals and conferences (Newcastle Sound Summit/Electrofringe and Web Directions South) so I've been only able to skim through the emails very quickly while being somewhat sleep-deprived :-) and may have missed some stuff. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
