[uf-discuss] clarification request on usage of id attributes in XMDP

Fri Oct 24 04:15:55 PDT 2008

I tried asking this directly on Twitter yesterday:

"@t why no IDs for <dt>s in hcard XMDP? XMDP spec seems to require
them, so that <dt id="val1">1st val</dt> still defines a val1 class"

but I got no response -hence I'll restate it more clearly in here,
without the 140 chars limit:

the XMDP for hcard on microformats.org wiki does not use IDs for <dt>
elements, while reading the XMDP-specification itself they seem to be
required, and used to actually define the allowed values for class
attributes of the microformat being formalized trought the url given
in the profile argument of the <head>.

?!
