[uf-new] hAudio ISSUE #3: published-date is redundant

[Ian McKellar]

I'm concerned that it won't be possible to mix hAtom and hAudio as flexibly
as I'd like with this but it might be for the best. The main problem I see
is that it would be hard to share elements between hAudio and hAtom (such as
entry-title and audio-title) because to prevent the audio's published being
confused for the entry's published the audio's published needs to be inside
entry-content or entry-summary.

Consider this pseudo-xhtml:
<div class="hentry haudio">
  <h1 class="entry-title">
    <span class="audio-title">Second Hand News</span> by
    <span class="contributor vcard fn">Fleetwood Mac</span>
    (<span class="published">1977</span>)
  </h1>
  <div class="entry-content">This song is great</div>
  <div>blog posted: <span class="published">August 19th, 2007</span></div>
</div>

One approach would be to put the whole hAudio inside the entry-content so it
is hidden from the hAtom, but then we couldn't mark up the title with the
semantic information in it.

I know there are ways to fiddle with the nesting to get this specific case
right but I think it's just a little too fiddly and the meaning of
"published" in Atom is sufficiently different from its meaning as it relates
to audio that mixing the two is not ideal.
