--- Do you have a reference for "Huge amount", what source and what is leading you to that assumption? It would be good to clear-up any mis-understanding and incorrect assumptions. > [url+uid] is the only way to use UID in > microformats which I don't believe is true but no one seems to say any > different. --- You can use any value as a UID, you yourself found the urn example on the wiki. You shouldn't assume that just because no one says anything contrary, that it is the only way encode a UID. Simply ask "Does a UID have to be a URL?" The wiki already gives example counter to this. If you feel this is a confusing point that others might have, please add it to the wiki as an FAQ. Then we can all iterate on the answer. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
