If there are people in the uF community who are interested, we of course want to have their input since we are trying to present a solution that is of interest to them (and is generally applicable, of course).<BR/><BR/>As to "hacky" I really didn't mean to imply that uFs are hacky. Our approach to solving some problems for the HTML 4 space is hacky. Like WAI-ARIA. And integrating @xmlns for scoping of CURIEs. That's super hacky IMHO. The uF approach of using @class etc. is fine - it just conflicts a little with how things like "abbr" were meant to be used. <BR/><BR/>As to scaling - the issue as I perceive it is that there because there is no scoping of terms as more and more vocabularies are created uFs will continue to have issues with collisions. RDFa sidesteps this issue by leaving each vocabulary to resolve its collisions. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your comments!halindromehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681469818770966456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036283141717441911.post-29891336858839111742008-09-04T16:14:00.000-05:002008-09-04T16:14:00.000-05:00Shane<BR/><BR/>This is twice this week I heard Microformats referred to as "hacky" by two different members of the FDFa community, so what do you mean "hacky" it seems to be a word being used in your community to refer to Microformats, and also "bring to the fold" I cant see you doing that any time soon it has a community of thousands, each and every one of them may have a say on that ;)<BR/><BR/>My advice would be do your work on RDFa+uF on the RDFa wiki, you don't need the microformats community's blessing to port Microformats to RDFa just do it, that not what microformats were made to solve, think the simplest problem.<BR/><BR/>I think you are a little uniformed when you say that microformats don't scale, I know of at least three workable solutions, I'd call it "work in progress" by at least a few of the Microformats Community.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Martin McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095162327396391160noreply@blogger.com
