Still, no one has responded to the more fundamental concern that rel-tag is not reusable for things like lists of bookmarks.
--- i think the issue might be with what you WANT rel-tag to be and what it is? at the moment rel-tag would say "this page as content about X". That is ALL rel-tag knows about and that is all a rel-tag spider is concerned with.
(Or does someone really find it helpful that a "page has content about X" can just mean that a "page has a bookmark to X; or at least it did when I indexed the page, I guess its not there anymore because it rolled off.") ~D
It doesn't matter if it is a bookmark, blog post, hAtom entry, hCalendar or hResume, etc. A rel-tag applies to the page. Organizations like Icerocket, Technorati and others index TAGS all they are conserned with is getting you to the data. (freshness of that data is another problem, sure things might roll off, but things might go 404 too! that's life) I'm not sure what you mean when you say "is not reusable for things like lists of bookmarks." why not? when a rel-tag spider comes around and finds the tags it gets indexed in one way. When a bookmark/xFolk spider comes along it indexes things differently. I get the feeling you want both the rel-tag and bookmark spiders to index it in the exact same way? At the moment this is NOT how rel-tag works. Do you have a specific use-case or URL you want us to look at? otherwise we should stay away from hypothetical what ifs. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
