The VoteLinks specification says that a VoteLink is used to (1) indicate agreement or disagreement with the resource indicated by href, and (2) the title attribute should be used to express a human-readable commentary (i.e., a rationale) for the vote. Brian and Ryan have shown that these two

The problem with geo is that it is horrible to show in a UI. The microformat only specifies a lat/long (no title) and there is no guarantee there is anything interesting to show in the UI. For a typical end user, geo just doesn't make a lot of sense. It's a geek feature. You will be able to add

Hey Brian, I interpreted the specification: Additional human-readable commentary can be added using the existing 'title' attribute, which most browsers show as a rollover. To mean: provide a human-readable commentary on why you voted the way you did. In other words, the rationale for why you

[uf-discuss] Fragment identifiers and XFN

A question came up about fragment identifiers on the OpenID list and I was wondering what effect, if any, the presence of a fragment identifier has on an identity URL in XFN. For example, are these equivalent as far as XFN is concerned: a href=http://tantek.com rel=contactTantek/a And A

It would be nice though, to be able to take something marked up with geo and have it generate KML and get handed off to Google Earth or to have it open up Google Maps (with the web-app content handler stuff in the WHATWG webapp proposal). -Colin On Jun 7, 2007, at 11:04 AM, Mike Kaply
