This is the start of an argument for namespaces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namespace I have always been in favor of using namespaces, but it seems as if the rest of the Microformats community are against the concept because of the added complexity (and there certainly is added complexity). Andy, Martin - are you proposing 'context-aware vocabularies' or something similar to that? Brian, Tantek - there is no need to pull in the entire Dublin Core metadata vocabulary set. For example, all we would need to pull in for hAudio would be 'dc-title' at this point. That or we would need to be allowed to use 'title' for hAudio, since that is the word that makes the most amount of sense for what we are describing. -- manu _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
