It might be best of parsers accepted either; since some schemes use comma (e.g. ICBM), others semicolon (e.g. geotag)
At the moment the ';' semicolon should be used. There is an FAQ about it on the hCard-faqs page[1]. I'll update the hcard cheatsheet page accordingly. The ';' comes from the vCard RFC, because hcard is modeled after vcard the syntax was just reused. One issue with using a ',' instead is that a comma sets off a 'list' of properties, this can be seen in RDATE and others. And (if for some reason) there was a need for plotting 2 dimensional figures, my first thought would be to just have a list of lat;lon: <abbr title="12;34,56;78,90;12">...</abbr> so i would prefer to stick with a single lat/long delimiter and continue using just the ';' to separate values. -brian [1] - http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-faq#How_does_GEO_work_with_ABBR -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
