Parsing

This is a braindump, this page will need cleaning-up, take everything with a grain of salt at the moment.

By Element

This is a matrix of element and type. This should be describe under what circumstances each value and where that value comes from. The list of elements has been taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/elements.html

data types

(this probably needs a better name) There are two types in microformats, protocol types and strings. Strings could be integers, such as ratings, strings, such as a note, or datetimes, such as dtstart. Protocol types are UIDs, URLs, email addresses, (sometimes Telephones and faxes)

If there is a comma list, then this is in order of availability. For instance, the ABBR element is @title,node-value. IF the @title is present then it is used, if not the stack is popped and node-value is looked at, if there is no node-value, then the value is NULL.
