[uf-discuss] What to do when a microformat doesn't quite fit?

[brian suda]

I have seen the issue of "author" appear more than once in regards to
hAtom, so maybe it is time to refactor.

hResume has brainstormed away to call back to an object via reference,
X2V supports this for vCards and vEvents, so the hAtom XSLT can steal
that code if they want.

Basically, the idea is that you declare your "author" at the top of the
page or at the first post etc... and you add an ID="foo-bar-author"

Then inside later posts you simply add:
<object data="#foo-bar-author"/>

and this basically is telling the system to include the data inside
#foo-bar-author inside the post.

This may or may not be something hAtom wants to look into.
