[uf-dev] Re: [uf-discuss] Two include-pattern questions

[Brian Suda]

there are also a few other outstanding issues on how/what is exactly included.

Senario I
<p id="var1" class="vcard">
<span class="fn">brian suda</span>
</p>
<p id="var2">
<a href="#var1" class="include">my hcard</a>
</p>

This senario takes id="var1" and takes that branch of the tree and
inserts it as a CHILD of the 'a' element. Therefore you would extract
the vcard with an fn.

Senario II
<p id="var1">
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn">brian suda</span>
</div>
</p>
<p id="var2">
<a href="#var1" class="include"/>
</p>

The second senario id="var2" REPLACES the 'a' element, therefore, you
need to have your class values as children of id="var2"

Obviously, there are issues with both. along with things like this:

Senario III
<p id="var1">
<span class="fn">brian suda</span>
</p>
<p id="var2">
<a href="#var1" class="include vcard"/>
</p>

what happens here? it depends on if the included text is a child, or
replaces, and/or if we want to allow something like this?

I suggest that if this is going to get more technical, we take it to
the dev-list.
