Yes that is correct, although as you can see there is not much of the
current haudio draft left, that is why I said to be fair those
properties that occur 70% of the time or more....

163 properties in haudio? wow that's News to Me, I only count only 15
currently possibly 20 if you include the really edge cases, I don't
think there are that many properties across all microformats are there? ....

Manu Shame on you... have you actually read and understood any of these
two pages
http://microformats.org/wiki/process
http://microformats.org/wiki/principles
I doubt that you have.

Manu I wish you would stop basing the above url as something that should
be considered as fact, I still even now (after a year or more) cant find
all those properties you list on that page, yes I know you saw those
properties at the time but frankly I have a hard time believing that
"album savings" , "album price in points" and "track add to pop-list"
plus many many more have anything at all to do with hAudio at all
Thanks
