Thanks Brian - I was unaware that they used ISO 8601. The main reason we decided not use the full ISO 8601 format was because we were under the impression that hAudio would be the first Microformat using it and we didn't want to create a steep implementation curve for hAudio. Since hCalendar uses "duration" as well, we are going to assume that a full ISO 8601 parser will be available and thus adopt ISO 8601 completely for hAudio's 'duration' field. The semantics between hCalendar and hAudio are the same as far as I can tell. We will still suggest (not require) that ISO 8601 mark-up occur in seconds (it is compact, is all we need for audio and video, and will hopefully make the first implementations a little easier). The hAudio wiki page has been updated: http://microformats.org/wiki/audio-info-proposal#Duration -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
