--- Comment #41 from Greg Grossmeier <[email protected]> --- (the "I used to be in the metadata standards industry" hat back on) (In reply to Jared Zimmerman (WMF) from comment #40) > Thanks Greg, I reviewed the Schemea.org documentaion, and it doesn't > acutally clearly state anything that would make me think it would cover this > bug, I had a hard time even finding refernces to it improving support for > twitter cards (maybe this is what you were saying with your second comment) Right: Schema.org is a general purpose metadata standard and as such is used in many more places online and has better coverage. TwitterCards are Twitter specific and they don't play nice with other metadata standards out there. > Either way since this is an extension do you really feel that it will "ugly > up our html source" isn't that the point of an extension to keep this kind > of thing separate from core? It (the extension) will modify the HTML <HEAD> to include a ton of TwitterCard specific metadata. It's not about Core vs non-Core, it's about our <HEAD> (which is in our HTML) ;) See, eg, this from the wordpress.com site: --------------- <!-- Facebook --> <meta xmlns:fb="//www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" property="fb:page_id" content="134098913979"> <meta xmlns:fb="//www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" property="fb:app_id" content="249643311490"> <meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/WordPresscom"; /> <!-- Jetpack Open Graph Tags --> <meta property="og:type" content="blog"> <meta property="og:title" content="WordPress.com"> <meta property="og:description" content="Start a WordPress blog or create a free website in seconds.

It just sucks from the perspective of someone who cares about web metadata standards and is anti-proliferation/redundancy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
