Hello,

I am working on an AddressBook type module for Drupal using hCard and
have run up against a minor quandrum in correctly formatting email (&
to a lesser extent url) properties. I've read through hCard
information on this mailing list and found a type of answer, but I'd
like to pick your collective brains, if I may.

The inital problem I encountered with both propeties stemmed from the
fact that I hook into another Drupal module for link managment and
click-through tracking, the latter using a redirect after logging the
click-through. Scanning through the list I found the following
possible solutions:

http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-April/003605.html
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-August/005242.html
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2006-September/005643.html
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Human_vs._Machine_readable

My confusion comes when trying to impliment email types. I used the
following markup:

<a href="FooBarRedirect">
 <abbr class="email" title="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
   <span class="type" title="internet pref">Email FooBar</span>
 </abbr>
</a>

Similarly:

<a href="FooBarRedirect">
 <abbr class="url" title="www.foo.com">FooBar Webpage</abbr>
</a>

From what I've read through, I believed this would be correct, while
keeping markup to a minimum. However, checking my hcard markup using
the Tails & Operator Firefox extensions proved troublesome in the fact
that when exporting the cards 'Email FooBar' showed up as the email
address instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tails would show the correct email
address in the sidebar, but not in the exportation.

I realise that potential issues with these extentions are outside the
scope of this list; I would appreiciate, though, comment or
suggestions on the above markup.

Best regards,

K.Franch
