[uf-discuss] Contextual link information using microformats

[David Janes]

Fully exploit HTML [1] first, I think. Something like this:

<a
href="http://..."
id="link"
hreflang="en"
type="application/pdf"
title="PDF Document Title">Document (PDF, 2 pages, 145KB)</a>

Beyond that, there may be overlap with media [2]

Regards, etc...
