The BBC is trialling microformats in the new programme support pages
and are in need of lots of test data and research in order to a) help
us make a more informed decision about the use of abbr design pattern
in hCalendar here in the community, and b) for them to decide whether
to use hCalendar at all (eek!).
Please take a read if you are a screen reader user, or know some one who is.
Hi Frances
You might want to ask on screen reader user mailing lists if anyone
would like to test the BBC's implementation. From what I've seen, users
on such lists are very keen to try out things and give feedback.
