Maybe true but lets talk about it :)

Could It be done  Like this?

<div class="haudio">
<div class="item">
    <span class="type" title="Release">
        <span class="fn">Best Before 1984</span>
    </span>
    By: <span class="contributor">Crass</span>
</div>
      <div class="item">
           <span class="fn">Nagasaki Nightmare</span>
           <span class="duration">4:46</span>
     </div>
      <div class="item">
           <span class="fn">Big A, Little A</span>
           <span class="duration">6:13</span>
     </div>
</div>

type titles can be Album, Release, Podcast, Chart, Toplist, even Episode
and Track  but would this be too restrictive? I think It may be a more
flexible approach than having class names for all these properties.


Thanks

Martin
