Hello all

I would like to inform you that the Media Examples Anyalisis has at last been completed please see http://microformats.org/wiki/media-info-examples. The full results and discovered schema for a Media Microformat is available here: http://microformats.org/wiki/media-info-brainstorming#Schema.

Thanks

I would also like to inform you that a Media Info Proposal is now available for viewing and comments

http://microformats.org/wiki/media-info-proposal

One point I would like to bring up now is that the proposal supports a new element called comment

http://microformats.org/wiki/media-info-proposal#comment

I didn't want to create anything new to mark up the contents of a comment, I just reused hcard eg:

<div class="comment vcard" id="comment1">
<p><a class="url fn" href="http://somewebsite.com/";>Joe Blogs<a> said on <span class="rev">2008-11-08</span></p>
  <p class="note">Great video, keep up the good work</p>
  <p><a class="uid" href="http://someblog.com/article/foo.html#comment1";>permalink to this 
comment</a></p>
</div>

hcard properties used are:

   *  fn The name of the person who authored a comment
   * url A URI of the person who authored a comment.
* note To specify a comment that is associated with the person who authored a comment. Contents can be text or Valid html mark up * rev Datetime of the revision of the entire coment. This element SHOULD use the datetime-design-pattern. * uid A unique URI identifier of a comment, typically a "permalink" to a comment

Toby has raised an issue with this because it is bending the definition of a few properties from hcard, but I am not too sure, hcard properties are primarily used for people and organizations but also for Objects, A solution to this is use hAtom hentry for this, which I tentatively agree with, But for one or two Problems, It would lose rev and uid, these are important because every time someone gives feedback on say a blog post, they are creating a new revision of a document(rev), also if a permalink to the comment is available this forms part of a unique identifier(uid) of the comment. Another thought I have on this Is Are people leaving their contact information and a note when they give feedback on something?

Has anyone any More thoughts on this?

Thanks
