The hProduct specification lists the following formats as allowable for
PRICE:
> price. optional. floating point number. can be further refined by type
> (msrp, regular, sale, clearance), can use currency format.
So, we can do the following in PRICE:
Floating point number:
----------------------
<span class="price">3.40</span>
Currency format:
----------------
<span class="price">
<abbr class="currency" title="GBP">£</abbr>
<span class="amount">4.99</span>
</span>
Further refined by type:
------------------------
$<span class="price">3.40 <span class="type">MSRP</span></span>
Are all of these good ideas as an extension to PRICE? We don't allow the
type to be refined in other uFs do we? Is the price specified as a
regular floating point number useful without a currency?
