Er, yes - that one is :-) I'm not sure, but the only reason the other microformats don't have GRDDLable profiles is lack of interest by the microformats core group. I (and others) pushed a lot to try and get profiles for the microformats, but the best response we got was the suggestion of using the Wiki URIs as profile URIs. Which would be fine, but to support GRDDL would need one of the Wiki administrators to make the appropriate changes...and there doesn't seem any enthusiasm. > <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2006/03/hcard http://gmpg.org/xfn/11";> > > which is ugly and tentatively poor or even invalid markup, Ugly, yes, but I think perfectly valid according to the html spec. > we can do this > > <head profile="http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view#";> > <link rel="transformation" href="http://www.w3.org/2006/03/hcard"; /> > <link rel="transformation" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"; /> > > Looks a lot more practical to me! > > Thoughts? Right, that kind of thing would be an improvement. An even neater one was (I think) sugested by Dan Connolly. Make a joint profile for all the common microformats, so all you'd need is: <head profile="http://wherever/all";> Not sure about the current status, whether anyone's actually working on this. Will check.
