Re: [uf-discuss] Re: ‘XHTML’ references to ‘HTML’

[Ben Ward]

Got around to making some of these changes today. Actually not as  
many as I'd expected to. The pages with slightly tweaked references  
to ‘HTML or XHTML’ are:

[[hcalendar]] M http://microformats.org/wiki? 
title=hcalendar&diff=0&oldid=23673 * BenWard * (+5) Making consistant  
references to ‘XHTML’ and ‘HTML’ as per uf-discuss thread last week.
[[hcard]] M http://microformats.org/wiki? 
title=hcard&diff=0&oldid=23675 * BenWard * (-3) Making consistant  
references to ‘XHTML’ and ‘HTML’ as per uf-discuss thread last week.
[[rel-license]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=rel- 
license&diff=0&oldid=23676 * BenWard * (+6) Making consistent  
references to ‘XHTML’ and ‘HTML’ as per uf-discuss thread 2007-11-26
[[geo]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?title=geo&diff=0&oldid=23677 *

[[xfolk]] M http://microformats.org/wiki?

[[hreview]] M http://microformats.org/wiki? 
title=hreview&diff=0&oldid=23680 * BenWard * (-10) Making consistent  
references to ‘XHTML’ and ‘HTML’ as per uf-discuss thread 2007-11-26
[[hresume]] M http://microformats.org/wiki? 
title=hresume&diff=0&oldid=23681 * BenWard * (+4) Making consistent  
references to ‘XHTML’ and ‘HTML’ as per uf-discuss thread 2007-11-26

As per the discussion last week, in the first instance these pages  
now refer to both ‘HTML’ and ‘XHTML’ explicitly, and later references  
are just ‘HTML’.

The exception to this at the moment is the XOXO spec, which has been  
written in a very XHTML-centric way from the outset, and may need to  
be reviewed in relation to how it is actually being published on the  
web (to see whether we need to accommodate a reality of publishers  
putting XOXO in HTML documents, not just XHTML).

I've also not yet update the ‘XHTML Design Principals’ template which  
recurs in most of the above pages. Again, that's a very XHTML centric  
passage which doesn't accommodate HTML so cleanly and can't be  
tweaked with find and replace. Any suggestions on changes to those  
passages are appreciated.

Regards,

Ben
