[microformats-discuss] Re: Proposing RelSource

[Andy Skelton]

I have drafted a spec for a very simple citation microformat after
study of some other specs on mf.org.
http://microformats.org/wiki/User:Skeltoac/RelCite

It does not classify relationships such as "reply" or "via" as
proposed by Eran but it does capitalize on the directional quality of
a citation by adding rel="cite" and rev="cite" to hyperlinks.

For example, consider a Pingback. A blogger generates a favorable
article citing one of your articles. He writes < a href="foo"
rel="cite vote-for">foo< /a> and your blog is notified via pingback.
If your blog reacts by generating a comment with a hyperlink back to
his article, it should be < a href="bar" rev="cite">bar< /a>.
