Hey Brian, I interpreted the specification:
"Additional human-readable commentary can be added using the existing 'title' attribute, which most browsers show as a rollover." To mean: provide a human-readable commentary on why you voted the way you did. In other words, the rationale for why you voted the way you did. Even your example is providing a rationale for why you voted against the resource identified by the href: <a rev="vote-against" title="nasty corn syrup drink" href="http://ragingcow.com"; >Raging Cow</a> Your rationale for voting against the resource is that you find it to be nasty. If, as you say, the value of the title attribute is nothing more than an ordinary HTML type of value containing information about the resource identified by href, then I think the sentence in the specification (listed above) should be removed from the wiki (as the title attribute has nothing to do with VoteLinks). Which is correct: 1. The value of the title attribute is a human-readable commentary on why you voted the way you did (i.e., the rationale). - OR - 2. The value of the title attribute is an ordinary HTML type of value for providing some text about the resource being linked to (i.e., title has nothing to do with VoteLinks). /Roger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Suda Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 2:56 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] Problem with VoteLinks?

That is slightly different that your SHOULD BE and the text's CAN BE. The examples are not being used to express voting strength or intent, but simply a futher descripion of the text. <a rev="vote-against" href="http://ragingcow.com"; title="nasty corn syrup drink">Raging Cow</a> This is semantics at the level of HTML where the TITLE attribute further describes the link. This has nothing to do directly with the VOTING. Where did you find your text? "(2) the title attribute should be used to express a human-readable commentary (i.e., a rationale) for the vote." the spec page does not say (i.e. rationale) anywhere when i search for it? -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
