<p>AccnaCnara: pascadell</p> <hr /> <div>caeltou<br /> &lt;h1&gt; Reuse &lt;/h1&gt;<br /> <br /> One of several microformats [[principles]].<br /> <br /> microformats [[reuse]] building blocks from widely adopted standards:<br /> <br /> * [http://tantek.com/presentations/20040928sdforumws/semantic-xhtml.html semantic], [http://tantek.com/presentations/2005/03/elementsofxhtml meaningful (X)HTML], i.e. [[POSH]]. See [[SemanticXHTMLDesignPrinciples]] for more details. <br /> * existing microformats<br /> ** as a whole, e.g. use [[hcard|hCard]] for representing people<br /> ** in part, reusing particular semantic class names, following [[naming-principles|microformats naming principles]]<br /> * well established schemas from interoperable RFCs<br /> <br /> In general &quot;doing what already works&quot; (i.e. re-use) is greatly valued over &quot;changing everything and starting from scratch&quot; (i.e. re-invention).<br /> <br /> Thus the burden of proof is always on those who wish to change or modify what already &quot;works&quot; to a great extent today. One clear instance of this is microformats' re-use of existing implied schemas (based on research of real world [[examples]]) and looking at existing widely interoperable standards as a basis for vocabulary as noted above, rather than inventing new idealistic a priori schemas or inventing new terminology for concepts already named in existing formats.</div>
