Re: [uf-discuss] input microformats for auto-filling forms
Hi Glenn, Excellent work so far! I think this has great potential. I see you mentioned HTML5 in the document (now technically just called HTML I guess) but I was wondering why not make more use of the new input types in the other examples? I see most of them are still input=text. For easy reference (cause I had it open anyway): http://is.gd/qA1gFW Thanks, Charl ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

Strange that none of them joined the list and posted about this already. Perhaps they have their own internal standardisation procedures and got caught up in that. Taking a look at what the new microformat is supposed to do, it seems like their needs can very easily be accommodated using the existing microformats or a combination of them (rel-license, rel-tag, adr, geo, hAtom, hMedia, etc). If they need to create a new one, it should be reasonably easy.

I took a quick look around their site and the people seem to be reasonably clued up. They have some code [1] online which seems to make use of html5lib. Perhaps somebody should contact them and ask them kindly to bring their work across in order to avoid duplication of efforts? They could make some valuable contributions.

[uf-discuss] hCode
Hi All, I am currently using my blog largely as a paste bin and would really like to add some more semantics to the various pieces of code I post so that I can write scripts to index my code snippets and allow users to search/browse through them more effectively. I searched the mailing list archives and found a lot of posts about hCode in January 2007. I also found some brainstorming being done on the wiki [1] but there doesn't seem to be much progress on this over the last year. I would like to take this up and start contributing if possible. Is there anybody else that is still busy working on this that I can collaborate with?

The one thing I still need to figure out is why should I use stuff like RDF/eRDF and MicroID, which are not really microformats. What benefits do they provide alongside microformats ? My observation is that a couple of years ago, the web standards community focused a lot on theory; that has mostly turned around and now the community is much more focused on practicality (thinking about efforts like Microformats and HTML 5). Personally, my focus would be mainly on implementing technologies that can actually be used. My thinking is that Microformats is a must-have thanks to the various implementations already in existence. The use of RDF, to me, would focus also on actual implementations. Would it be handy to use it, and if so, where? Will it help the user? Forms of RDF embedded into (X)HTML seems to have generally lost popularity, especially with Microformats on the scene. I haven't actually thought about MicroID in terms of Joomla so far, but will do some more research and thinking. I would love input and feedback regarding my work for the GSoC, especially over the next month as I refine my project plans.

Re: [uf-discuss] mime types and microformats
On 2/1/07, Rob O'Rourke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a question regarding mime types and microformat parsing, an area i find thoroughly confusing because of the differences in opinion on the web. I just read an article [1] that goes on about serving XHTML as text/html and why it's bad. It seems fair enough but I see it all over the place even on websites of experts like ppk, tantek's site, wordpress blogs etc... so I do it myself. The article suggests that XHTML doctype or no if it's served as text/html then it's treated as HTML. Secondly the wiki definition states they must be in (x)HTML/XML documents. If (x)HTML documents when served as text/html are treated as HTML how are the microformats still working? Does this mean microformats will work under an HTML 4.01 doctype? I might have the wrong end of the stick if the mime type only relates to browser rendering and compatibility... like I said I'm confused. I use Microformats on two of my websites, both inside of HTML 4.01 Strict, and most parsers seem to read them perfectly. Microformats integrates nicely into both XHTML and HTML; it uses the class attribute which is defined for both so I think you don't need to worry about using Microformats inside of either.
