The newest proposal of hAudio (v0.3) is available:
http://microformats.org/wiki/audio-info-proposal
Here are the changes based on input from the community:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
title -> work-title
Fixed a typo on the page. There has been one objection to 'work-title'.
It is suggested that we change it to 'fn', which didn't have that
favorable of a reception.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
collaborator -> contributor
Changed collaborator element name to 'contributor' to follow Dublin
Core's lead on the issue.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
release-date -> published-date
Changed release date to published date to be more specific about the
contents of the element.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
acquire
Changed to be a class instead of a rel-attribute. There is still some
concern over the name 'acquire'. Primarily in that it doesn't pluralize
cleanly (it is a verb - it should probably be a noun?).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
image-summary
Unchanged. There have been suggestions to make this 'photo' or 'logo',
but neither the semantics of photo or logo are correct. This element is
planned to be used across audio, video and images... thus the semantics
must mean the exact same in each Microformat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
genre -> category
Changed genre to category as no rel-tag is needed for categories. A
genre and style is a type of category, so using 'category' makes sense.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
length -> duration
Length is used more for spatial measurements than temporal ones. The
measurement we are addressing is a temporal one, that of duration.
ISO-8601 duration is used to specify the duration of an audio recording
in seconds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At the moment, there seem to be three debatable issues:
- The use of 'fn' instead of 'work-title'.
- The proper class name for the 'acquire' property.
- Grouping (specifically, how do we tell albums apart from songs and
relate songs to one another).
