Having re-read the cited page, I see that the format is: <rs type="person">Joe Smith</rs> and (I presume): <rs type="book">War and Peace</rs> Since there are type delimiters, I would say that these parallel: <foo class="hcard"><foo class="fn">Joe Smith</foo></foo> and the hypothetical: <foo class="hbook"><foo class="fn">War and Peace</foo></foo> In other words: rs-person -> hcard-fn rs-book -> hbook-fn Though TEI allows any string as a value for "type", and microformats require pre-defined "type" equivalents. -- Andy Mabbett _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
