[uf-discuss] My hCard comments

[Chris Messina]

Looks pretty good from here. Standard practice is to use "fn" rather
than the more specific classes for general use where, as you pointed
out, user input is involved. I would make one change:

<div id="vcard-1" class="comment_meta"><cite class="vcard"><a class="url fn"
href="http://cdevroe.com">Colin D. Devroe</cite> on <a
href="#comment-135" title="">April 19th, 2006 at 11:01 am</a></div>

It's not a big deal, but moving the vcard class to the <cite> tag
moves the microformat delimiter closer to the content that you're
calling out, especially since the <div> encompasses the post-date.

Also, take a look at hAtom for marking up your themes... You're
missing an opportunity to make your XHTML pages subscribable.
