Wow. This thread spiraled into nowhere land quickly. I mean, once you're into personal preferences, you know that you're never going to win. Some prefer email, some forums, some RSS -- hell -- it's just the *display* of data. Thank g*d we separated those two a long time ago so that people can

I just don't want to be checking a mailing list, wiki AND a forum. On that point I've proposed integrating the mailing list AND the forum, to give people the option of which of the two to use. So you wouldn't have to check all three. -Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you looked at the Geo implementations section: http://microformats.org/wiki/geo#Implementations There are a couple of Javascript and associated tools like what you've done. I wrote one using Greasemonkey to display a map of locations, and also geolocate you and give you driving directions.

[uf-discuss] type subproperty in the hCard logo property?

2006-11-03 Thread Costello, Roger L.
Hi Folks, The vcard specification says that the logo property may have a type subproperty to indicate the format of the logo image (e.g., gif, jpeg). However, as I look at the hCard specification it does not show the logo property as having a type subproperty. Is that a typo? /Roger

Thanks Brian. No, I don't have an example of where the type subproperty is needed. In fact, like you, I saw no need for it with hCard (although I can see the need in vcard, where the logo can be expressed directly in the vcard as base64). Perhaps there should be a mention on the hCard page that

when you include data as base64, you will use the data:// uri that URI[1] allows for explict description of the TYPE, so that is where X2V extracts the TYPE data from. see http://suda.co.uk/contact/ i have a hidden class=photo with a data URI: img clas=photo alt=my Gravitar
