[microformats-discuss] Re: Blog post format challenge - content vs summary

[Geoffrey Glass]

I've started marking up my blog [1] as a blog microformat experiment.  
I'm using the same classes as in my annotation code, which is not to say 
I think they're the best that have been proposed (I don't).

One thing came up immediately:  the distinction between index pages 
(with posts summaries) and full content pages.  I marked up both, using 
a class of "summary" for excerpts and "content" for full content.  On 
the one hand, I don't like the added complexity;  on the other, I 
suspect there are legitimate use cases for marking up index pages (come 
to think of it, my contextual copy implementation [2] may be one of them).
