Re: [uf-discuss] Fwd: Twitter Is Now Even More Geeky

So yeah, it's hAtom + hCard + XFN. Pretty good, especially since we
haven't seen too much hAtom pickup outside of a few WordPress blogs.


We've started using hAtom at Nature:

Just a couple of places atm, but more coming.

Not quite on topic but one thing I'd love to see in any future date pattern:
The ability to use the include pattern to include values common to multiple
events

A lot of the event stuff I mark-up is already partially qualified by a
partial datetime:
- broadcasts for a year+month+day
- episodes for a year+month
- posts for a year+month
- edits for a year+month+day

Would be good if we didn't have to repeat this information all the way down

Cool!  Thanks for the input. I've blogged a summary here, since  
Twitter doesn't seem to have their own link:

I added it to the hCard examples; there isn't an hAtom examples page  
yet, is there?

[uf-discuss] Receipt Microformat

2007-05-14 Thread Joe Osowski
Looking back in the archive, Martin Owens started a thread about a
Receipt Microformat.  As stated he had the following format which is a
good start.  Before I do more research, I wanted to be assured that I
wasn't duplicating any efforts.

Thanks.

Re: [uf-discuss] Receipt Microformat

2007-05-14 Thread Brian Suda

All discussions about new microformats should be directed to the
microformats-new.


From there we can further discuss steps, process, etc.


thanks,

(abbr pattern problems,


Clearly, there's a need for markup for the generic pattern of  
marking up a triple of data presented to humans, the microformat  
class and a normalized easy-to-parse representation of the data.  
HTML5 time addresses only one instance of this pattern.


I'm not sure it's clear that we need a general mechanism. AFAIK, the  
only real problem is with datetime fields. Everything else seems to  
work pretty well now.


The problem with using abbr for this pattern is that title='' is  
intended to be human-readable and the pattern contaminates  
abbreviation data, so with microformats abbr is now less useful  
for e.g. non-microformat-aware but abbr-aware screen readers.


The question that needs to be asked is: Will microformat producers  
and consumers be willing to migrate to a replacement of the abbr  
pattern if one is provided or will they continue to use abbr anyway  
for backwards compat?


There's no way that we'll get 100% of microformat producers to switch  
to the new mechanism, but with advocacy we can get a large number to  
upgrade. If producers switch so will consumers (and I'll put it in  
the test suite, too :D).


For example, should HTML 5 define a uf-data='' attribute as a  
common attribute such that the value of this attribute would be  
considered in preference over textContent by microformat consumers?  
Or should HTML 5 just mitigate the damage to the title attribute by  
defining a boolean attribute title-is-uf='' for flagging title=''  
attributes not meant for human consumption?


I don't think so. This fails to solve a specific problem (solves a  
general problem that I'm not sure we need to solve). It also  
encourages hiding data, which is Not a Good Thing(tm).



Is it too late to get rid of this?
abbr title='uf data'human data/abbr


Like I said, we probably won't be able to upgrade 100% of the data in  
the wild, so consumers will still have to support it, but we can  
probably get a lot.



Would this be accepted by the uf community?
span uf-data='uf data'human data/span


Like I said, we should focus on specific problems and solutions, of  
which time does a great job of solving the the datetime-in-abbr- 
title issue.



If not, would this be backwards-compatible with uf consumers?
span title='uf data' title-is-ufhuman data/span


Consumers would all have to be updated. So while it's backwards  
compatible with existing content, it isn't future compatible (if you  
started publishing this before consumers were updated, your content  
would not be handled correctly).

Geo information is also problematic.

For example, should HTML 5 define a uf-data='' attribute as a common 
attribute such that the value of this attribute would be considered in 
preference over textContent by microformat consumers? Or should HTML 5 
just mitigate the damage to the title attribute by defining a boolean

How would that encourage more hiding data than the current use of title?
