I am forwarding a message that Andy Mabbett sent to a couple of us
involved with hAudio development because it is a valid opposition to the

For the record; I do not regard the above as resolving (nor even
addressing) the issue highlighted in the e-mail cited in the issue-log.
Andy Please STOP being Vague please say what you mean What exactly then
IS your Issue
* If multiple contributors are specified, without |role|
specifications, it /MAY/ be assumed that the first role mentioned
is the primary artist or creator.
This does not work for collaborations:
Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel
Robert Plant & Alison Krause
and does not work in prose or tables like:
Simon Rattle / Beethoven's Fifth
I know it doesn't but would you mark up Multiple Contributors like this
<span class="haudio">
[....]
<span class="contributor">Paul Simon</span> & <span
class="contributor">Art Garfunkel</span>
[....]
</span>
.... I dont think most savy microformat publishers would either.
This applies to plain-text
contributor markup as well.
Really? How will parsers handle:
Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon
Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon/ Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon und Art Garfunkel
Paul Simon et Art Garfunkel
and every other language (and character-set) variant; and how will they
differentiate between:
Paul Simon-Art Garfunkel
and:
John-Paul Jones
It says Earlier in the proposed change
The contributor's name SHOULD also be marked up as a valid hCard
I think this is enough to suggest the propper format or hAudio Contributor
[Other interested parties CCd]
Why Didn't you CC Tantek and the rest of the microformats Community,
What are you trying to achieve Andy?
Thanks
