i don't think much was agreed upon, but ideas were certainly floated.
Ah, thanks Brian. Should've done a search first ;)
The way i quickly find things in the archives is by using Google's
SITE: search parameter.
"site:microformats.org/discuss/ death day"
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=is-
is&q=site:microformats.org/discuss+death+day&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
You might want to try searching for other things like "date of death"
ect. That discussion might have spanned a few threads?
Thanks again, very helpful! I'll do some more research on past
discussions to see what ideas were thrown around.
In your case you are actually asking for a fuzzy precision, like this
photo was taken "last week" or "last year". At the moment there is no
way to indicate this very well, and i'm not sure DURATION is the exact
semantics you would be looking for this this situation, although i
don't have anything more to offer.
I can see how DURATION wouldn't be semantically correct. Using <abbr
title="1800P15Y"> is, semantically speaking, saying that it took 15
years to publish or create the item. I guess, as with the measures
markup, we should ask...
"What are consuming apps doing?"
...when using DURATION in this manner, and with other "fuzzy" uses :)
Best,
Jeremy
