This is the way I have been marking up currency in shipping blocks in some recent hProduct demo work:
<p class="shipping">Usually leaves our warehouse in 1 business day. <span class="money">Estimated shipping cost: <abbr lang="en" title="USD" class="currency">$</abbr><span class="amount">19.99</span>.</span> </p> There definitely are other shipping components that could be used here. My thought is that we might be over-complicating things by trying to include all of them in an hProduct spec. Additionally, on a majority of e-commerce/ manufacturer sites these components show up further down the chain (i.e., when you end up in cart/checkout pages), and aren't necessarily product-specific -- a fixed carrier/service/type/ typically applies to most products, per the fulfillment model of the business.

Subject: Re: [uf-new] hProduct: Shipping Just looked at the currency wiki pages but didn't see the analogue - can you send a link? Otherwise, conceptually, i think this makes sense. Question, though: There are some other shipping components that might be useful, e.g., carrier (if applicable), service (if applicable), type (if not carrier/service, e.g., Ground).
