This also helps make sure that content is up to date. Nice idea. This would work, if the target resource (i.e. the target html page) has a root element of class vcard, or in case of html, at least a <body class="vcard">. Or the url points to a container with an id within that page. Then f.ex. the target page may contain some <address class="vcard" id="AlbertEinstein"> ... </address> and then you might link to that address record with <a href="http://where.ever/me.html#AlbertEinstein"; rel="vcard">bla</a> This would then have a similar meaning as the type attribute. The type attribute with its property defines the mime type of the target, the rel="vcard" would define a microformats address record as target. Nice idea. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
