[uf-discuss] hCalendar / hCard implementation, check please

[brian suda]

There are a few minor issues.

1) you have dtstart in two places, dtstart can only exist once, so the
second portion would be ignored. To correct this, you can simply do away
with the first dtstart inside the h2, and on the second one you can use
the full date-time:  <abbr class="dtstart"
title="20060230T1200">12:00PM</abbr>

2) The second issue is that 'status' has an enumerated list of values:
      statvalue  = "TENTATIVE"           ;Indicates event is tentative.
                / "CONFIRMED"           ;Indicates event is definite.
                / "CANCELLED"           ;Indicates event was cancelled.
        ;Status values for a "VEVENT"

I would suggest that you either do way with class="status", or roll the
"open to the public..." into the description.

My only other suggestion (and it is not super important in this
instance) would be to also mark-up the location with an hCard. This way
people could extract the building data easily as well. You would have to
place additional information in to the location, similar to this:

<dt>Location:</dt>
<dd class="location vcard">
<div class="fn org">Cornell University</div>
<div class="adr">
<span class="extended-address">Myron Taylor Hall</span>
<span class="street-address"></span>
<span class="locality"></span>
<span class="region"></span>
<span class="country-name"></span>
</div>
</dd>

This can easily be extracted as a vCard and degrades perfectly to just
plain text for the unstructured LOCATION in hCalendar.

I hope this helps,
