It seems to me that there should be some way to say that the URL of an
hCard or hCalendar event is the URL of the page itself, without having
to include a redundant, and accessibility-damaging link to that page, on
the page itself.
Or has anyone already devised a way to do this?
--- The simplest way to get around this is to just not make the text a link.
<a href="http://example.com"; class="url">my homepage</a>
is the same as:
<span class="url">http://example.com</span>
This doesn't make any self-referencial links and allows for the data
to be extracted at the same time.
The URL of the visited page can be available, in a Dublin Core metadata
header, thus:
<meta name="DC.identifier" scheme="DCTERMS.URI" content="[URL]">
or could be auto-discovered by a parsing agent.
--- the problem with using Meta elements is that they are out-side of
human-readable realm. One of the key factors in microformats is to
keep the data visible, it keeps it fresh, prevents many of the
abuses that have befallen meta-keywords, and also allows for
microformats to be fully emebedded in other formats like Atom, RSS,
etc.
