It is possible for me to start creating a CSS style called 'vcard', but a parser would know that this is a style and not semantics because of the lack of a profile URI. Eventually, as microformats become more popular, the profile URI is used to disambiguate random styles with intended semantic values. So far this isn't a problem, and to save time and effort we are focusing on the more important things. (IMHO) i would like to see more profile attributes, but i am not too worried - we'll cross that bridge when we need too, but there is a system in place to solve these problems - microformats are not "squatting" on terms. -brian _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
