Re: [WSG] Mark-up for physical/postal addresses
I don't think David said anything against microformats. The problems were with the use of the address element (which should only be used if it contains the contact details of the person who created a page) and the use of a definition list as an address for someone is not a definition of the person. I am not where I live that's for sure :> From: Johan Douma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Tuesday, 28 October, 2008 11:02:11 Subject: Re: [WSG] Mark-up for physical/postal addresses Well, what's wrong with microformats?

Re: [WSG] Mark-up for physical/postal addresses
The address tag was never actually built for addresses (a common misconception), and addresses are also not lists? I would highly recommend marking it up with Microformats and using the built in classes to style this as you need.

Re: [WSG] Mark-up for physical/postal addresses
Well, what's wrong with microformats? It's really the way to go, and search engines like yahoo, technorati already use these formats. There are already quite a lot of generators like this one: http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator No need to do any code, maybe is you want to change the structure a bit.
