I apologize in advance for bringing up something that is not really a
microformat (although it's arguably 'microformat-like'), but does
anyone know if any projects have looked at identifying and
standardizing 'well-known' URLs?
By a 'well-known' URL, I mean one that is commonly used across a wide
range of websites to point to a particular type of content. Some
exist already, usually as a result of a unilateral decision by a
provider, i.e.
http://somedomain/favicon.ico
http://somedomain/sitemaps.xml
But I could also imagine others, such as:
http://somedomain/help/
http://somedomain/contact/
The alternative to this approach is to use <link> elements with
appropriate 'rel' attributes to point the way to a given type of
content. In general, I prefer the <link> approach because it allows
the author more control over the logical arrangement of their site.
However, I'm a big fan of hackability in URLs, so I can actually see
some scope for defining a set of 'well-known' URLs for
typically-found content.
Reactions? Opinions? Pointers to a more appropriate place to look for
information or discussion about this?
