	==Background==		==Background==
	* ~~Internet~~ and web standards in general use US English terms and spelling (ref: W3C, IETF) for elements, attributes, properties and values.		* To encourage broader/better support of international content, modern internet and web standards strongly advocate the support of character sets such as UTF-8.
	** e.g. (X)HTML is defined in US English (e.g "color", "center").		* The vocabularies used in such standards in general use [[en-us\|US English]] terms and spelling (ref: W3C, IETF) for elements, attributes, properties and values. For example (X)HTML is defined in US English (e.g "color", "center"). See [[en-us-faq]] for more on why this is actually ''good'' for internationalization.
	* However such standards also strongly advocate the support of ~~character sets such as UTF~~-~~8 for broader/better support~~ of ~~international content~~.
			The design of microformats follows both of these well-established practices of modern internet and web standards design.
