Jason, good feedback. For that kind of case I would define an XML namespace that is specific for your project; process the client's data according to that model; then transform the XML namespace into XHTML during the front-end development and content production phase of the project. I agree with you that I haven't come across a lot of mico-formats that are suitable for a specific project, unless it is an address, an event, a news article or a product. Breton has given me some good sources to chase up from the micro-format world. thanks Paul

I am working currently on tesco.com and this is one of the ongoing debates we have, inside W3C as well, as XSLT is used all over the place and we are trying to achieve maximum accessibility and so on. I am not aware that something 'standardised' exists on this matter as yet, and would be surprised if it did yet, as the current state of play on this matter seems to be very non-standardised. Only the other day I wanted to do an events listing module and fried my brain in the various (mostly kind of useless) microformats and feed formats for events information (I came to conclusion that using something of my own is probably the best at this point, but obviously stops short of advantages of using microformats and standards, etc.). So if you come across something at least semi-standardised on this matter, please do message us if you are able to do so. It would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone know of an effort to define micro-formats using an XML name space and an XLST? I think that approach would be a great way to achieve some semantic mark-up using the existing XHTML namespace. It's how I prefer to process large amounts of data when we produce a larger web-site and I think it is a technique that could be applied in a more general way. thanks Paul Paul Minty Director mint leaf studio We design & create stylish websites Post: Box 6 108 Flinders Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Level 2 108 Flinders Street Melbourne T. 03 9662 9344 F. 03 9662 9255 M. 0418 307 475 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.mintleafstudio.com.au ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
