If it is not a scarce resource, please tell me what would happen if I decided to start marking up documents, as an example, using the class "directory" and "license", for purposes other than rel-directory and re-license? How could my markup and those Microformats co-exist in the same HTML document?
--- these values are not "reserved" across all of HTML. We have a mechanism to prevent this, it is called Profile URIs, if a parser comes across class="vcard" then the best way to determine if this is a random CSS Style or a semantic value is to see if there is a Profile URI that matched the XMDP of hCard. (IMHO) i would like to see more profile URIs in use, but at the moment this is not a real-world problem. We have many more important things to deal with, so Profile URIs are a sort of "we'll cross this bridge when we come to it". It is also only a hypothetical issue, so until this becomes a real issue, we're not going to worry too much about it, but we do have a system that solves this problem. So we aren't "squatting" on any values. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
