Before doing anything I wanted to check if there is anyone doing accessibility and microformats, or resources thereof, before launching into anything.

For example, on most Wikipedia articles, it lists a set of sources for the article's content at the bottom - these surly have semantic value (building inter-site links, inter-document links, relevance of a document in a set of categories through rel="tag", etc.). I'm interested in seeing what the community thinks of this - is there anything in XML or a Microformat that covers this?

There's no finalised microformat, but a lot of research has been done for a Citations format, see http://microformats.org/wiki/citation Regards, Ben P.S. Additionally, enquiry/discussion threads should be directed to the microformats-discuss@ mailing list, please; microformats-new is focused on the actual development of the new formats. Thanks!

First up, query and discussion threads should be directed to the microformats-discuss@microformats.org mailing list, please; [microformats-new] is focused on the actual development of new formats, so your question won't necessarily have reached the right audience here. Thanks! I'm crossposting this over to microformats-discuss for you, so any future replies should please drop ?f-new from the reply header. Thanks!

Thanks for any help or recommendations. Could you clarify a little what you want to do? If you're trying to parse hCalendar within a Flash application, you might be able to reuse some of the JavaScript code from the Operator parser to create JavaScript objects.

have a "cite" attribute that allows you to include a link back. Sadly, it seems browsers tend not to make this citation visible in the UI, but it's possible to expose it using a little unobtrusive scripting. e.g. http://www.6times9.com/javascript/citelink/ http://www.sitepoint.com/article/structural-markup-javascript/ Current XHTML 1.2 and XHTML 2.0 drafts allow a "cite" rel value. i.e. your links can use rel="cite". There's also of course the element. -- Toby A Inkster
