x2v-issues

From Microformats

x2v is one of the main microformats implementations. The code is managed in an x2v hg repository (http://hg.microformats.org/x2v/). BrianSuda and DanC are starting to track issues here. See #microformats discussion 20 Dec (http://rbach.priv.at/Microformats-IRC/2006-12-20#T154234).

issue2006-12-20content-encoding

X2V's php does not correctly check for content-encodings

trailing_slash

X2V failed trailing slash in rel-tag (this is now fixed)

FN ORG incomplete

FN == ORG (i don't think) is complete

XSLT case-conversion on Nodes

Firefox seems to convert nodes to uppercase when using local-name(.) and name(.). This can be solved by switching to self::

The downside is that then it will not extract the node name from ANY namespace, but a specific one.

language for X-WR-CALNAME

Background

The X-WR-CALNAME is a widely supported extension property of VCALENDAR that stores the calendar title. It does not currently have a LANGUAGE attribute. It's value is meant to be human readable, so maybe it should.

Currently

<html lang=en>
  <head>
    <title>My calendar</title>
  </head>
  <body class=vcalendar>...</body>
</html>

yields something like

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
X-WR-CALNAME:My calendar
...
END:VCALENDAR

Proposal

The second line should read X-WR-CALNAME;LANGUAGE=en:My calendar

No support for AGENT

Doesn't seem to support agent at all -- either as a human-readable string nor as a nested hCard. E-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc which are part of the agent's vcard are treated as belonging to the main contact.
