If you want to keep a page private, it may be better to simply edit a local text document and then create a page when ready.

There are many steps to complete in the process before you start proposing class names. Please read http://microformats.org/wiki/process In particular note that you should state the specific problem you are trying to solve, then research and document real world *examples* on the web, then research and document well established interoperably implemented previous *formats* before *brainstorming*. When you get to the brainstorming step, you may want to take a look at existing "geo" brainstorming here: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-brainstorming#geo_improvements > I am glad to have found the microformat.org site with > its specifications and the work presented there, > especially the geo microformat.

The URLs for that large number of geo info that is public should be captured in your examples page that you create. > The title and the content of the former 4d page has > been changed to better reflect my views. Please read the How To Play page for some basics on creating and editing pages on the microformats wiki. http://microformats.org/wiki/how-to-play In particular, naming conventions: http://microformats.org/wiki/naming-conventions > I hope I > could get some comments or criticisms on the > feasibility of this proposal. The primary criticism is not about the specific proposal per se, but more so the leap to a proposal without first sufficiently documenting the problem being solved, existing examples, existing formats, per the microformats process. > I am not realy > interested in creating another microformat, but rather > to find a way to connect geo to a time dimension and a > reference system, which might not be WGS84. It actually *does* sound you are looking to create a new microformat which perhaps embeds a "geo" data item with some additional information to represent a point in 3D space with a time component. I think the research and documentation steps in the process will still be quite useful for this, even if all you end up with is a set of semantic class names to use, rather than a microformat.
