[uf-discuss] hAudio issue: position

[Martin McEvoy]

Hello Andy

I have cross posted this email to microformats new as I believe hAudio
is still in development and any Issues anyone may have with haudio
should really be posted there.

Position was a late addition because most of the examples we were
studying used tables in the design of their web pages, we also found
that XOXO or OL doesn't work in tables
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-new/2007-June/000482.html
 
so now you can do both, use an ordered list without marking up
"position" and also use hAudio in tables with the ability to markup
position.
