This meta data profile defines some 'class' attribute values (class names)

draft of "Hypertext Links in HTML"</a>.
All values are defined according to the semantics defined in the

constrained and modified as per the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom">hAtom microformat spec</a>.</dd>
<dt id="value">value</dt>
