Hrmm... Looking over Brian's Microformats cheat sheet, these are the possible "types" used to differentiate the class "phone":
home,work,pref,fax,cell,pager This seems to correspond with the VCard specification for telephone type: http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcard-21.txt ================================== Indicates preferred number PREF Indicates a work number WORK Indicates a home number HOME Indicates a voice number (Default) VOICE Indicates a facsimile number FAX Indicates a messaging service on the number MSG Indicates a cellular number CELL Indicates a pager number PAGER Indicates a bulletin board service number BBS Indicates a MODEM number MODEM Indicates a car-phone number CAR Indicates an ISDN number ISDN Indicates a video-phone number VIDEO ================================== I think you're right. Come to think of it, I'm hearing more use of "mobile phone" than I used to. Certainly the W3C is using the term mobile when talking about CSS for mobile wireless devices. http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile Given hCard's relationship with VCard, I see why it's so. I would be uneasy about making a change in the 1-to-1 translation. Pat On 10/31/06, Michael MD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
