[uf-discuss] locations/cities/countries/categories & hcalendar

[Brian Suda]

There is an address design pattern[1]. it is taken from the hCard
spec. So for location you could mark it up as:

<abbr class="geo location adr" title="34.34;-120.12"><span
class="locality">Any Town</span>, <abbr class="region"
title="Missouri">MO</abbr> <abbr class="country-name" title="United
States of America">USA</abbr></abbr>

With this example I have encoded both a LAT/LON geolocation[2] and an
ADR inside location. This will degrade gracefully because hCalendar
does not know about those other class names and will output:

LOCATION:Any Town, MO, USA

but other transforming applications can leverage the additional
semantics provided in the GEO and ADR properties.

in addition for CATEGORIES, you could use the Rel-Tag[3]
