It tends to be more of the latter when it comes to this list :) - lots of good ideas... in fact, too many to see clearly, sometimes. That is why it would be good of us to limit this discussion to audio-info only. You also stated that that you "feel these same properties can simultaneously apply to multiple things". Yes, absolutely they can - I wouldn't be surprised at all if images and video shared a great number of the elements (such as 'fn', 'image-summary', 'duration', and 'price'). However, we don't know until we do the research - that means collecting 80-100 video site examples and collecting 80-100 image site examples. If somebody on the list wants to go and do that right now, that would be great. However, barring any heroes collecting and analyzing all of those examples - we don't have the data necessary to make the arguments. My gut tells me you are correct, Brian - however, Microformats are not based on gut-feelings... they're based on hard data. > --- You could have some overarching container, lets call that > something like "media". That has meta data, much like hfeed. All good suggestions - why can't we do both album and media? I was defending the position that you are defending just a few days ago. That of generic grouping. As Joe noted, you lose quite a bit of semantic meaning when you use generic containers - that seemed to be a theme in the arguments against hSet. I don't think you're going to find many people that will agree to create another generic container when we just had a very drawn out discussion about generic containers. > Has anyone attempted to simply > mark-up their data using hReview with a price and duration (which is > already a solved problem in hCalendar)? It loses semantic meaning. An album isn't the same thing as a review. You don't tell your friends "Hey I just listened to a review called "Yeehaw and the Kick Me Brothers" last night - it was great!". At that point, they have no idea if you're talking about a movie, a podcast, an album, or a song. You say "I listened to this album called "Yeehaw and the Kick Me Brothers" last night". It is far more semantically accurate. Encapsulating hAudio in hReview when writing a review about a song or album would be a perfect example of using the two together in a proper manner. -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
