Template

Consider using this format (copy and paste this to the end of the list to add your issues; replace ~~~ with an external link if preferred) to report issues or feedback, so that issues can show up in hAtom subscriptions of this issues page. If open issues lack this markup, please add it.

Please post one issue per entry, to make them easier to manage. Avoid combining multiple issues into single reports, as this can confuse or muddle feedback, and puts a burden of separating the discrete issues onto someone else who 1. may not have the time, and 2. may not understand the issue in the same way as the original reporter.

  1. Issue H-1: This specification is lacking a user agent conformance section. There's basically nothing that says how VoteLinks must be parsed, how to handle errors, and so forth. Is it defined in terms of the DOM? Is it defined in terms of a serialisation? How do you handle conflicting content?

  1. What is the relation of vote links and rel=nofollow? <a rev="vote-against"> may actually have positive effect on referenced page in search engines that don't understand vote links. <a rev="vote-against" rel="nofollow"> makes more sense in this case, however nofollow means that PR should not be affected, which might be in conflict with interpretation of vote-against.

  1. According to the 'rel' FAQ, 'Use of "rev" SHOULD be avoided. However, VoteLinks, is being grandfathered since it was such an early use. No future microformats should be developed that use "rev".' Would it be useful to put vote-links through the proper process and see what comes of it?
