Hello,
Hi Jason :)
I'm new to the list and just learning about microformats. Cool stuff. My question / proposal is this. Is there and should there be something I will refer to as an alias (hAlias)? The motivation to have and offer one's alias is to maintain a greater level of privacy. Suppose I want to give someone a way to contact me without divulging all my vital (more permanent and personal) attributes. Sort of a disposable email, or such. I can imagine that 3rd party services would offer some privacy enhanced email services, etc.
hCard already fits this. For hCard the only required information is a name - and of course, the name you choose to use online is completely up to you! Any other information is completely optional. In theory, you could maintain two identities online realistically - one real, and one alternate identity.
Basically, I want a way to introduce myself and provide some contact information without requiring a full disclosure. Schema-wise this is really just a handle, optional description, and URL. I look forward to your comments and suggestions. -jason _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
