History Brainstorming
Per the microformats process this is a brainstorming page considering the existing real world examples of historical information published on the Web.
Timelines
- The "timeline" examples all seem to comprise a sequence of either actual or potential hCalendar events. While it may be possible to assume that any page containing multiple hCalendars represents a timeline, that would not account for pages containing two or more disparate timelines; or a set of hCalendar events which are unrelated, and thus not intended as a timeline. This could be remedied with a simple parent microformat, say hTimeline, thus:
<span class="htimeline"> <p>Timeline 1</p> [hCalendar] [hCalendar] [hCalendar] </span> <span class="htimeline"> <p>Timeline 2</p> [hCalendar] [hCalendar] [hCalendar] </span>
