Hi All,
How do I say "Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955)"
using hCard? Specifically, what is the best way of expressing a
person's life dates?
"bday" seems like an obvious choice for date of birth. Would adding a
term like "dday" be appropriate for date of death?
Or would it be better to use "dtstart" and "dtend" from hCalendar?
This feels more elegant, except that "bday" is a more semantically
precise than "dtstart".
Or maybe some hybrid? perhaps class="bday dtstart" for birthday and
class="dtend" for death date?
Tim.
