[uf-new] hAudio contributor Issue

[Martin McEvoy]

There are not many hAudio issues to be resolved, most of which are 
pretty easy to deal with I think, most are just minor issues with the 
Specification.

Issue 1  raised by Andy Mabbett 
<http://microformats.org/wiki/User:AndyMabbett> in 
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2008-January/011340.html 


"the wording about |contributor| could be improved to facilitate more 
streamlined mark-up"

The Point in question is this from 
http://microformats.org/wiki/haudio#Contributor

> The contents of the element SHOULD include a valid hCard
>         Microformat
>   
Andy Suggest that

       <span class="contributor vcard">
        [...]
       </span>

or
       <span class="contributor fn">
        [...]
       </span>

Should be acceptable,
as well as (I would imagine) this

       <span class="contributor">
        [...]
       </span>

Changing the spec to read

>         The contributor's *name* SHOULD also be marked up as a valid 
> hCard
>         Microformat

Anyway I think this is a non issue because its more to do with parsing 
and not the actual spec itself  I personally would not recommend that a 
haudio contributor be marked up like this

       <span class="contributor">
        [...]
       </span>

It expresses no semantics,  however this  does...

       <span class="contributor vcard">
        [...]
       </span>

vcards are people and places and can be associated directly with the 
haudio tracks or albums they are embedded in.

The only way the current specification could be clarified more is by 
adding ".. the contents of contributor MAY be specified in plain text"

If this does not cause any problems I would like to close this issue.
