I definitely like that optimization, assuming we can't get it any better and it causes no unforeseen problems. But also please see my comments on "page-global." -Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ciaran McNulty Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 12:18 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: RE: title attribute and abbreviatedclassnames(Was:[uf-discuss]Currency Quickpoll: Preliminary results) On 10/19/06, Brian Suda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I personally like this idea: > <span class="money"><abbr class="currency" title="USD">$</abbr><span > class="amount">5.99</span></span> > > It has worked well for ADR, TEL, EMAIL in hCard and is also being > explored for UIDs. I like that idea too, there've been a few similar variations suggested and they seem the right general approach. I think it would also make sense to add some rules that could compact the markup in common cases. For instance, we could introduce the implied optimisation that if there is no explicit 'amount' then the amount could be taken to be everything inside the 'money' that isn't the 'currency'. i.e. <span class="money"><abbr class="currency" title="USD">$</abbr>5.99</span> would be equivalent to your example above. That would simplify the markup in a large number of the cases, and I don't think would complicate the parsing *too* much. -Ciaran McNulty _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
