The underlying idea isn't that people will lie on purpose, it's that tools operating without early human intervention have no common sense to tell whether there are accidental class attribute usage conflicts. Microformats don't own the class attribute, so there are going to be conflicts. The page is a tool to help tool users and authors test whether profiles are being honored. It's supposed to be a worst-case type thing. Sometimes the conflicts aren't important (screen-scraping browser plugins), sometimes the conflicts are more important (using uf for data interchange). It just depends. -cks -- Christopher St. John http://artofsystems.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
