<tt>But how would you detect this in a parser? Currently we look for a class of dtstart. how would you do a getElementsByClassName?</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I personally don't like the BBC suggestion at all. Hiding data in the class tag just seems like a hack. Especially since I have to look at every class attribute to decide if it is data for the microformat.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I'd almost rather use a non standard attribute.</tt><br>
