A brainstorm of possible alternative methods of using include in
microformats, avoiding the use of the problematic "OBJECT" or empty-link
variants:
<foo id="birminghamid" class="locality">Birmingham</foo>
then:
<foo class="adr birminghamid">[...]</foo>
What about:
<span class="adr" id="myaddress">my address<span>
<a href="#myaddress" rev="propertyOf" class="locality">Birmingham</a>
?
The idea is that:
<span class="adr">
<span class="locality>...</span>
</span>
is in my view a convenient short cut for:
<span class="adr" id="#myadress">...</span>
<a href="#myaddr" rev="propertyOf" class="locality">...</a>
The shortcut notation is convenient when properties are grouped together
in the HTML tree (usually the case), while the subject/predicate/object
works in any case. In other words, in the first case, you can view the
parent/child relationship (span of class "adr" is the parent element of
span of class="locality") as overloaded semantically: it means both
"part of" (in HTML) and "property of" (in microformats).
Don't mean to start a debate on properties vs relationships...
