But the question remains: Microformats aside, if I'm making a new website from scratch (no legacy code/markup) and I want to encourage others to hack, mashup, interwingle it with other data is it best to use /radio4 or http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 ?
you can have the best of both worlds. In each <a href=""> just use "/radio4". This makes the link relative. But then you can also add a <base href="http://bbc.co.uk/";> when this is in your HTML it will make all the hrefs absolute (or it should for any decent parser). The advantage of using the <base> element is that you can easily switch it to something like <base href="http://my-dev-site.bcc.co.uk";> and you don't have to rewrite all the hrefs within the HTML. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
