The hAudio Draft Specification has a new home:

I've been through and edited the examples to fix issues with
validation and incorrect closing tags.
I have the following issues with them:
• class=price should not include mark-up from a currency proposal.
It could endorse, promote and spread use of mark-up that is later
discarded as sub-optimal. I don't think the hAudio spec should
advocate use of an unfinished microformat at all.
span class=price£1/span should be sufficient for these examples
at the moment.
Much Like the hListing proposal
http://microformats.org/wiki/hlisting-proposal#Simple_Listing
Agreed
In principal
although I am unsure of when the proposal adopted the use of
class=price as It was previously agreed that we use the currency
proposal
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2007-June/000563.html
Although I am not sure if the proposal has changed since then
Maybe someone can point out when?
Thanks

• All uses of the ABBR pattern for dates and times should use
hyphenated separators. We're still in an accessibility grey spot with
regards to the whole thing, but it was noted that splitting dates
with hyphens made it acceptable in some cases (2007-11-03 over
20071103). I don't know what the effect is of your new duration
abbreviations. It's important that someone with access to the right
equipment tests those expansions with assistive technology. If it's
appropriate to hyphenate the expansions in the time formats, then
they should be.
My Preference for now is simply to use
span class=duration4:44/span
which I believe is an ISO 8601 time format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#General_principles
any use of the abbr design pattern I think should be kept to a minimal
in the creation of hAudio, or any new Microformat for that matter.
• I'm of the view that whilst use of HTML elements should be neutral
wherever possible (SPAN, DIV), use of presentational elements such as
BR should not feature in our examples. Some of the examples are using
BR to change the presentation. These should be reworked somehow.
