I'm sorry, I made a mistake in my question. I didn't mean to say is non [digits+periods+commas] (I don't know how to write the regex at the moment.). So in your example, clearly it would require specifying the symbol. But when only digits and seperators? -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Mabbett Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 4:04 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] First version of Currency proposal In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Mike Schinkel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes >This gives me a chance to ask in a different way, why can we not assume >type=USD, amount=5.99, and symbol=$ from the following? > > The book costs <span class="currency" title="USD">$5.99</span> > >I believe you answer will be "what about unicode where we are not using >[A-Za-z0-9] and if so, I would say that is when you add a symbol.
