Hi,
I'm new here so forgive me for mentioning something which may have
come up before.
I was thinking that there needs to be some sort of microformat for an
action. For example, a hResume may contain an action, and the action
may be 'call' or 'email' specifying phone number email address.
Thoughts?
It sounds like what you're describing is contact information, which is
covered by hCard:
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard
Specifically, the 'tel' and 'email' properties cover your examples.
You can embed hCard within hResume.
Peace,

I'd agree with Scott there, 'call' and 'email' in hcard are more like a
choice or just information presented to the reader, actions suggest
something you're supposed to do on a page or what a particular page
itself is supposed to do. The <form> attribute "action" covers that. Say
you have an email form, perhaps nested in your hcard instead of a
mailto, this will already have an "action", namely 'contact' or
'send-mail' or whatever the name of the page is that the form posts to.
I can't think of a way to make your email address exportable doing it
that way though, unless you can have action="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but
that just seems silly. Not to mention the w3c spec doesn't want to touch
action="anything-other-than-an-http-uri" with a barge pole.
