specifically, what is it about hListing that does not cover houses?
To me it seems that hListing is trying to do too much, almost as if
instead of having hCard and hCalendar we got hPIM instead. After
looking at the hListing proposal it looks to be limited in the
available fields because it is trying to do too much rather than focus
on one type to better support its unique requirements.
Basically by focusing on just the real estate listings it would be
simpler to add the needed fields there rather than adding a bunch to
hListing standard. And this isn't just for houses, but anything (land,
condos, commercial property etc) that might be in a MLS system or in
the real estate section of the classifieds.
Before proposing that we replace, replicate or extend hListing,
please experiment with it on actual examples and provide feedback
about its limitations. As of now, your objections are theoretical.
Microformats don't encode every possible bit of information, instead
they focus on the most common and useful parts.
