to-do-examples

I took at look at Basecamp. They embed todo items in a UL, a little bit like XOXO (with a lot of extra schmutz). If you assign something to someone then you get something like this:

<span><strong>Smack Man:</strong> wonder why it looks like this</span>

so what's missing here is an identifier for the person, and their role. We'd imaging something like,

<span class="htodo">
 <span class="hcard"><span class="nickname">Smack Man</span></span>
 <span class="summary">wonder why it looks like this</span>
</span>
