Just a question: for what purpose is the class="url" as attribute of a link?
Example from the hCalendar spec: <span class="vevent"> <a class="url" href="http://www.web2con.com/";> <span class="summary">Web 2.0 Conference</span>: <abbr class="dtstart" title="2005-10-05">October 5</abbr>- <abbr class="dtend" title="2005-10-08">7</abbr>, at the <span class="location">Argent Hotel, San Francisco, CA</span> </a> </span> So what does the <a> container contain? It contains a summary, two dates and a location. Does it contain a url? I can't see any. The href attribute of the <a> container on the other hand does contain a url. It has to contain a url according to the html and xhtml specifications. Although this url does not need to be a full url. So, the simple usage of the <a> tag (as well as the <link> tag already implies the presence of a href attribute which according to specification has to contain a url. The same goes for img and the src attribute and with object and the data attribute. So here the class="url" is not only unnecessary, it is wrong, since the <a> container does not contain a url. Other example: see here: <a href="http://www.web2con.com/";>http://www.web2com/</a> This indeed does contain a url. So here it would be o.k. to use the class="url": see here: <a href="http://www.web2con.com/"; class="url">http://www.web2com/</a> Generally, class="url" is not unnecessary per se, but it is wrong in all examples in the wiki. The only correct usage of class="url" would be if that html container indeed contains a url. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
