Both training and education are experiences that people enter with the goal of learning something once they've completed them.
I don't think that's necessarily true - you're required by law to go to school until the age of 16 in the UK, my personal experience was that a significant proportion of my peers were not at school with the goal of learning anything. Many people attempt to achieve qualifications through 'gaming' the examinations rather than by learning the material - ie. their goal is to gain the qualification/certification, not to learn something. I don't think it matters as far as this is concerned, I just don't think you can unify education and training with that blanket assertion.
Maybe using "type" is a way to meet existing traditional differences while allowing for changes in the education/training environment?
I think that's a good idea, though we should probably use title as type doesn't seem to be a valid attribute on anything other than links? So we could have: <span class="education" title="school"> ... </span> <span class="education" title="university"> ... </span> <span class="education" title="training"> ... </span> <span class="education" title="certification"> ... </span> <span class="education" title="informal"> ... </span> Any reason why this wouldn't work?
