[uf-discuss] hListing and hReview

[Taylor Cowan]

hReview and the proposed hListing are very similar, sharing structure and properties.  They both use "item" and it seems logical that they should work exactly the same in that area...but they are just different enough to cause parsing issues.  From the hReview page, it states that "fn" must be a child....

http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview
Encapsulated microformats (e.g. hCard and hCalendar events for now) may be set on the item itself (e.g. class="item vcard"). However, when using item info subproperties ("fn", "url", "photo"), they MUST be nested inside the item element. 

However, on the hListing proposal, item and fn are used in an example like this:

<span class="item fn">Parking space</span>

If we can make them agree it sure is easier to write pasers, in this case you merely take an exising hReview parser and add/change a few property names.  Since there are already public examples of that on edgeio I wonder if the restriction in hReview should be relaxed regarding ("fn", "url", "photo") as child nodes.  It also seems that a second identifier within the same @class attribute is really a child anyway.

<span class="item fn">Parking space</span>  ==  <item><fn>Parking space</fn></item>
