The rel-tag specification says that tags ought to be HTTP URIs. In a page I'm authoring at the moment, I'm using non-HTTP URIs as tags - specifically I'm using irc: URIs (like irc://irc.freenode.net/microformats) as tags.
Operator seems fine with it. I'm wondering whether other tag parsers accept non-HTTP tags, and whether there is some kind of philosophical justification for the current HTTP only policy for tags. It seems to me that so long as the target resource URI conforms to the tag URI structure, it shouldn't matter what protocol it uses. Also, any thoughts on a rel-tag test suite? Specifications say, implementations show, tests prove, remember. :) -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
