[uf-discuss] Relationship between XFN and hCard
I've been slowly chipping away at the implementation of XFN builder in TinyMCE, which is the rich text editor for Wordpress and other blogging/CMS tools. Somewhere along the way an odd thought occured -- it seems that XFN and hCard are closely related. XFN describes relationship of a person, represented by the target page, and hCard declares that this link is part of contact information. I tried to search archives/wiki on the subject and found a couple of things (http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#hCard_and_XFN, for instance), but nothing definitive. As a brainstorming idea, I implemented the XFN builder UI to also be an implicit hCard builder. The hCard is created by wrapping a span around the link. Take a look at this screenshot: http://flickr.com/photos/dglazkov/146838621/ The default selection is N/A, which means no XFN/hCard. If the user selects Another Web site of mine, an hCard will be built with an XFN = me If the user selects Organization, an hCard will be built with no XFN and fn org url class for the link. If the user selects Person, the XFN builder is revealed: http://flickr.com/photos/dglazkov/146834248/ The result of this choice will be an XFN and hCard. Obviously, in all cases where hCard is created, it's rather barebones, but somehow I like the fact that the author can explicitly mark a link as contact information. What do you guys think? Is this crazy? I remember Drew arguing about the dangers of implicitly blessing links as hCards (http://allinthehead.com/retro/287/the-dangers-of-automatically-generating-hcards), but I can't remember where the discussion ended up. Thoughts, discussion, critique on the UI are also welcome. :DG ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
[uf-discuss] X2V hCard question
Hi, I am trying to set up some Dreamweaver templates that will support microformats without making the user specify all of the classes and am running into a few parsing problems.

RE: [uf-discuss] X2V hCard question
Here's a good article about whitespace in XSLT: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/11/07/whitespace.html basically you wanna do something like xsl:strip-space elements=*/ I think that should do the trick.

[uf-discuss] Microsummaries in Firefox redux
Yuck. http://wiki.mozilla.org/Microsummaries#Microsummary_Generators Maybe I'm daft, but I don't get it. Nor do I see how most mortals will grok microsummaries or how to create them (http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/147071018/). Can someone please share with me what the big idea is and why this is shipping in Firefox 2 by default?
