Hey Killian, Take a look at XBN -- we brought up this idea awhile back on Tara's urging...
http://tinyurl.com/2qa5pc There's also more there generally about the idea of "professional" relationships. I favor a moderate advancement of professional relationships, especially in the context of hResume... Let's see if we can advance the topic this time around.

Dear Microformat-discuss readers, First, forgive me if I'm screwing this up, I know absolutely nothing about mailing lists. Secondly, I joined because of XPN, an 'XHTML Professionals Network' microformat. I thought this up at the end of December, and tried to contact Eric, Tantek and Matt through e-mail to get their opinions. I haven't had a reply yet, but I saw a little blurp about it on the microformats homepage today. (Seemingly from a couple of days earlier then I blogged about it, funny how these things work.) My original ideas can be read here: http://kilianvalkhof.com/2006/web/rel-for-practical-use/ I imagined the XPN as a way to define client/developer (rel="client", rel="developer") relationships, and built from there. For example, add freelancer to it (rel="developer freelancer") or define what part you did on the website (rel="client sliced", rel="client design") An XPN could be expanded to other business sectors as well, but it seems smart to start with the web development one. The direct use for it would be to open the way to a sitemadeby: search, next to the defining relationships part. I don't know if an XPN should be part of XFN or next to it. I would say next to it, because it's a different thing. But you could also argue that it's a continuation of XFN and as such, should be part of it. Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself here, what are your opinions about such a microformat?
