That's correct. I meant for these issues to be more like notices when deciding between <object> and <a>. When I first started using the include pattern, only <object> was supported. Luckily, Safari caused enough trouble that <a> was included as an option. I meant to only add these issues as further reasons for using <a>. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
