Acid Test

Dmitry Baranovskiy:

==ACID Test for Parsers==
This is not really ACID test, but it sounds good. Basically test should run across as many as possible edge cases in microformats’ parsing. So far cases I found are:
* include pattern
* include inside include
* nested µf (agent as vcard inside vcard)
* multiple eleemtns of the same type
* “value” container
* correct work with abbr and img tags
* tel with type, but without value elements
* tel with type, without valu, but with “include”
* value as an ul element
* “headers” pattern
* “headers” with nested include

That’s it so far. You could test your parsers over there: [http://microformatique.com/optimus/test.html]

This thing is under development and will be updated.

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

For now, start with reading [[hcard-parsing]] as that has more detail and has been more throughly reviewed and implemented.

== 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

See [[semantic xhtml]] for a definitive list of elements.

=== 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.

=Microformats related events=

Please add any microformats related events (specifically, events where there will be talks on microformats) you find here, and we'll add them to the [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] on the [http://microformats.org home page]. Please also create a page for each specific event, where you can list URLs for the event, event details, create an "Attending" section, link to photos afterwards, etc. (See [[events/2006-03-01-w3c-plenary-microformats|Microformats panel at W3C Plenary Day]] for a decent example to mimic/copy-paste). Thanks! -[http://tantek.com/ Tantek]

If you can (or can ask the organisers to kindly-) use microformats (especially [[hCalendar]] and [[hCard]]) on the event's web pages, so much the better!

There is a separate wiki page for details of [[presentations]].

== Quicktime Broadcaster Notes ==

For setting up a mac laptop with an iSight and QT Broadcaster in order to publish live audio/video from events.

# Make sure you have the necessary equipment and software installed
#* A Macintosh running OSX 10.3.9 or later
#* Quicktime 7 - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
#* Quicktime Broadcaster - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
#* An iSight or digital video camera with firewire connection
# Get a broadcast template document from someone (see KevinMarks for example)
# Open that, then change the info in the 'Network' pane that has his name etc in it.
# Check the video and audio panes are using your iSight
# Another tip is that the standalone thingy for the iSight can be more useful than the screen-top one if you have a desk, as that way it picks up less typing noise and wobbles
# I find plugging in headphones is a good idea, as you can then monitor and not get howlround

For setting up a mac laptop with an iSight and QT Broadcaster in order to publish live audio/video from events.

# Make sure you have the necessary equipment and software installed
#* A Macintosh running OSX 10.3.9 or later
#* Quicktime 7 - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
#* Quicktime Broadcaster - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
#* An iSight or digital video camera with firewire connection
# Get a broadcast template document from someone (see KevinMarks for example)
# Open that, then change the info in the 'Network' pane that has his name etc in it.
# Check the video and audio panes are using your iSight
# Another tip is that the standalone thingy for the iSight can be more useful than the screen-top one if you have a desk, as that way it picks up less typing noise and wobbles
# I find plugging in headphones is a good idea, as you can then monitor and not get howlround

== Quicktime Broadcaster Notes ==

For setting up a mac laptop with an iSight and QT Broadcaster in order to publish live audio/video from events.

# Make sure you have the necessary equipment and software installed
#* A Macintosh running OSX 10.3.9 or later
#* Quicktime 7 - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
#* Quicktime Broadcaster - get it from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
#* An iSight or digital video camera with firewire connection
# Get a broadcast template document from someone (see KevinMarks for example)
# Open that, then change the info in the 'Network' pane that has his name etc in it.
# Check the video and audio panes are using your iSight
# Another tip is that the standalone thingy for the iSight can be more useful than the screen-top one if you have a desk, as that way it picks up less typing noise and wobbles
# I find plugging in headphones is a good idea, as you can then monitor and not get howlround

Dmitry Baranovskiy: /* help implementers */

<h1>To Do</h1>

This page is for posting [[microformats]] related shared to do items. If you want to use this page for your microformats related to-do items, create a section with your name on it. The reason we are keeping these all on the same page is to make it easier to tell when people are working on similar things, and to make it more obvious when people help out with other people's tasks. In theory this probably won't scale, but let's first see how it does in practice. :) - [http://tantek.com Tantek]

__TOC__

== Lazyweb ==

Just some nice things, feel free to do any of these.

=== for all microformats ===
* quick and easy "how to" pages for each microformat. [[use]] is a good overall start.
* brief summary statements for each microformat that explain why it matters, what does it accomplish for the publisher.
* write up [http://microformats.org/discuss/ mailing-list] questions and answers in the appropriate [[faq]] pages.
* validators. See the hReview section below as there has been a request for an hReview validator in particular. See [http://norman.walsh.name/2006/04/13/validatingMicroformats Norman Walsh's blog post "Validating microformats"] for some valuable analysis and validation pseudo-code (prose description), which are useful steps towards building microformat validators.
* Create a microformat (based on hCalendar?) for marking up the opening hours of stores and restaurants. Some people seem to believe hCalenders repeating event support isn't good enough for this and needs to be amended first.

=== hReview ===
* [[hreview|hReview]] support in Ecto (hey Adriaan!), requested by Andy Smith
* an [[hreview|hReview]] validator.
* a semantic, clean css star rating picker (e.g. a UI widget to rate from 1-5 stars)
** both [http://komodomedia.com/blog/index.php/2005/08/24/creating-a-star-rater-using-css/ this] and [http://factorycity.net/demos/drupal/rating/default.html this] have some flaws. Ask [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]] for an explanation.

=== hCard ===
* microformatted versions of conference pages
** Do a revision of the [http://conferences.oreillynet.com/etel2006/ ETel] [http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/44/speakers.html speaker's page] with all the speakers marked up with [[hcard|hCard]] and links to "Add hCards to Address Book" etc., similar to the [http://tantek.com/microformats/2005/web2/speakers.html Web 2.0 speakers page which Tantek did a revision of last fall].
* vcard to hcard converter
** would be nice to have a web upload UI that would take one or more vCards from apple's address book and give them back to you as hCards
** [[User:RobertBachmann | RobertBachmann]] suggests starting points:
*** For Ruby: http://vpim.rubyforge.org/
*** For C: http://freshmeat.net/projects/libvc/
*** For Python: http://www.nongnu.org/python-pdi/
*** For PHP: http://pear.php.net/package/Contact_Vcard_Parse/
* add export support for microformats to [http://www.turingart.com/abForWeb_lan__en.htm AB to Web]
* A mash-up with google maps that will take any url with a hcard (or hcard's) and map the location(s) on a map (similar to [http://austin.adactio.com/ austin.adactio.com])

=== hCalendar/hCard/hReview editor ===
* onblur in the URL field (e.g. on hCalendar), goes out and tries to retrieve an object of same time (e.g. an hCalendar vevent) from that URL and uses it to autofill the form, same thing if the creator is loaded with that URL prefilled (e.g. due to a ?url=http://example.com/ in the URL that loads the creator).

=== WordPress patches for microformats ===
* submit patches for WordPress code/templates for microformats improvement
** <address class="vcard"> improvement in post author publication (e.g. home page of http://microformats.org/ )
* Wordpress plugin for microformats, specifically hReview and hCalendar
** See [http://www.surfarama.com/index.php?p=227 lazyweb request]

=== Yahoo Open Source Library Patches ===

Several of these could very much be improved with a little microformats markup. Do we just make patches and submit them? Contact Nate Koechley at Yahoo (see Tantek for contact info) to follow-up.

* [http://developer.yahoo.net/yui/ Yahoo! User Interface Library]
* [http://developer.yahoo.net/ypatterns/ Yahoo! Design Patterns Library]
* [http://www.yuiblog.com Yahoo! User Interface Blog]

=== Drupal patches for microformats ===
* [http://groups.drupal.org/microformats-in-drupal Microformat Module for Drupal] A group discussing ways to implement microformats in Drupal. Currently looking to support hAtom, hCard and hCalendar to start with. Contact digitalspaghetti at gmail dot com if you are interested in contributing to the project.

=== Adding Microformats to Existing Pages ===

* See [[advocacy#Adding_Microformats_to_Existing_Sites|advocacy: Adding microformats to existing sites]].

===Geotagging on Wikipedia===
Somebody familiar with the "geo" microformat might want to add details, and a link to the relevant page on this Wiki, to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging Wikipedia page on Geotagging]. [[User:AndyMabbett|Andy Mabbett]]

===rel-tagging on Wikipedia===
Somebody familiar with the "rel-tag" microformat might want to add details, and a link to the relevant page on this Wiki, to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_%28metadata%29 Wikipedia page on tagging]. [[User:AndyMabbett|Andy Mabbett]] 14:07, 3 Jan 2007 (PST)

== Tantek ==

I'm keeping a few microformats related to-do items here both for my own convenience, and for folks looking to help out with small tasks. If so, just create a new section with your name, and and maybe copy the item there, and put your name next to the item in my list. We'll figure this out as we go along. Thanks, [http://tantek.com Tantek].

=== overall priority ordering ===
# Protect the community from threats (wiki damage, mailing list pain or noise), repair damage, add measures to reduce future damage
# Help publishers with established microformats: [[hcard|hCard]], [[hcalendar|hCalendar]], [[hreview|hReview]], [[xfolk|xFolk]]
# Help implementers with established microformats
# Wiki cleanup/gardening for existing established microformats
# Site usability
# Iterate on existing established microformats, resolve issues/feedback etc.
# Community dynamics, [[process]] and [[principles]] improvements to help guide new microformats developments
# Emerging in-demand microformats: [[hlisting|hListing]], [[citation]] using abovementioned process and principles improvements.
# New microformat requests
# Other

=== protect the community ===
* Analyze [[Special:Recentchanges]] and [http://microformats.org/discuss mailing-lists] and:
** add to [[mailing-lists]] policies/guidelines accordingly.
** privately email violaters kindly asking them to improve their behavior
** work with admins on next steps for individuals negatively impacting the community
** recognize noisy/distracting threads on the email list, document responses/answers to such subjects on the appropriate page(s) on the wiki, and reply to those threads with the URLs to the documentation on the wiki. Putting the responses/answers on the wiki helps by hopefully providing preemptive answers to some who might reraise the subjects on the list in the future, and helps the community quickly terminate such threads by using the answers on the wiki.

=== help publishers ===
* (: [[advocacy]] - add pages/sites that could use microformats, update them with sample markup, find contacts for those pages to get them updated, and send requests to update their sites with microformats including sample markup.

==== *-authoring microformats wiki pages ====
* Add some tips to [[hcard-authoring]]
** a tutorial on creating an hCard for your site
** specific instructions for common blogging platforms
** instructions for more properties (match at least the set that is in the [http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator hCard creator])
* Create [[hreview-authoring]] - a tutorial on how to blog reviews so that they'll be aggregated.

* *-authoring for all microformats: [[hcalendar-authoring]], [[hreview-authoring]], [[xfolk-authoring]], [[hatom-authoring]]

==== help with microformat examples in the wild ====
Go over all "common" pages (both logged out and logged in states) of the following sites which have some microformats already, and verify each page is as microformatted as it can be with high fidelity [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] and [[hcard|hCard]] etc. Document full support of each implementation's microformats on the implementations page (perhaps create a separate page for each implementation, e.g. [[flickr]], [[upcoming]], [[eventful]] etc.) Document any exceptions as needed. In no particular order:
* Flickr.com (3.5m hCards)
* Upcoming.org (100k hCalendar events, 100k hCard venues)
** home page
* Eventful.com (100k hCalendar events, 100k hCard venues)
* Yahoo! Tech (300k products with hReviews)
* JudysBook.com (???k hReviews)
* ... lots more, get from "Implementations" and "Examples in the Wild" sections of specs.

=== help implementers ===
* wordpress improvements
** WP admin for new profiles
*** should simply read blog URL
*** look for hcards and parse them
* [http://gmpg.org/xfn/creator XFN Creator] localizations
** Get someone to verify the [http://gmpg.org/xfn/creator-ru XFN Creator Russian localization].
** Add it to the [http://gmpg.org/xfn/tools XFN Tools] page.
** Add rel="alternate" href="creator-ru" <link>s to the other XFN Creators.
* Conference Schedule Creator
** We need to ASAP build a simple conference schedule creator (and editor?) that builds upon the hCalendar creator. We should make it *trivial* for conference organizers to build/edit/publish an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] schedule for their conference, including auto-generated "Subscribe..." link which produces the proper "webcal:..." link with X2V. Note: see the "axis" and "header" attributes in HTML4, specifically in the section on Tables. (Done. Feedback wanted. [http://dmitry.baranovskiy.com/work/csc/ Conference Schedule Creator])

=== wiki cleanup ===
==== for all microformat specs ====
* modularize any specs which are > 30K in order to avoid loss/corruption like [http://microformats.org/wiki?title=Special:Contributions&target=Evan Evan's 14 June edits] to [[hcard|hCard]], [[rel-tag]], and [[xoxo|XOXO]].
** [[hcard|hCard]] -
*** [[hcard-examples-in-the-wild]] group/sort by individuals, organizations, and hosting sites. Consider moving largest subsection to its own page as well.
** [[rel-tag]]
** [[xoxo]]

==== update specification section organization ====
In particular, the introduction/boilerplate/headers. [[hresume|hResume]] has an experimental abbreviated intro/headers section, and links to more details further below, based on some ideas that Ryan King and I had for improving the readability of the microformats specifications. [[hreview|hReview]] has some similar improvements, but different. We need to:
# Figure out if the new intro/headers structure in [[hresume|hResume]] and/or [[hreview|hReview]] is an improvement, and if it could be better. Perhaps figure out the requirements for an intro/header section
#* Shorter tends to be better
#* Must be comprehensive enough to "print and read"
#* Must detail authorship/editorship
#* Must detail copyright/patent statements
# Write up a template - make it self-documenting per the requirements
# Update existing specifications with the new intro/headers structure.
## [[hcard|hCard]]
## [[hcalendar|hCalendar]]
## [[hreview|hReview]]

==== reorganizing Implementations sections ====
* sort implementations by authoring/creating/publishing, browsing/viewing, converting/importing, indexing/searching.

Hmmm... I like: '''A'''uthoring, '''B'''rowsing, '''C'''onverting, '''I'''ndexing, '''L'''ibraries (for developers), and '''P'''otential (for open source projects we want to add support to). Anybody have alternative suggestions for this vocabulary? I don't have a particularly strong preference so I'm going to go with these four until I find examples that don't fit, or someone suggests something better.

See: [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Implementations hCalendar Implementations] for a first attempt at this. Assuming folks like that, we can go ahead with categorizing the implementations sections of other microformats specifications.

* [[hcard-implementations]] - organize by same subsections as [[hcalendar-implementations]].

==== reorg Examples in the Wild sections ====
* include more *key* details per example, e.g. precise or estimates of counts for services
* collate/sort examples in the wild by
** hosting services - where users/people actively contribute to the growth (e.g. Flickr profile hCards)
** publishing services - where lots of data is published from some datasource/database (e.g. Yahoo! Local)
** companies/groups/organizations member pages (and their own) - pages for a group's site where they list members or employees (e.g. Technorati staff page)
** individiual companies/organizations contact info pages
** individual people's contact info pages
* of course at some point this won't scale, but that will be a very good problem to have, and by then I'm sure we'll have services to point to that provide queries and search results for all this data.

=== site usability ===
* figure out how to get wordpress to autopost blog posts to the microformats-announce list
** ideally use the from address of the author of the blog post
** maybe photomatt knows how to do this.

=== iterate on current microformats ===
==== [[hcard|hCard]] ====
* [[hcard-examples]]
** add examples of [[hcard|hCard]]s with work telephone, mailing address etc.
** add examples of marking up an organization vs. a person, then link to it from [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Organization_Contact_Info hCard spec section on Organization Contact Info].
** add example of organization-name and organization-unit usage.
* Examples in the wild - need to create a new page for them!
** Group examples in the wild according to:
*** Individuals - one card per person, perhaps sort alphabetically
*** Organizations - one card per organization, alphabetical again
*** Institutions (which list more than one person), with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 40k for Avon. Also indicate complexity of information supplied, eg. just name+number vs. complete details
*** Online Profiles (which host profiles for more than one person) with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 3.5m for Flickr.com
*** Online Venues (which provide listings for businesses or organizations) with a count estimating the # of venues, e.g. ~10k for Upcoming.org
*** Speakers Listings (lists of speakers on conference sites) with a count estimating the # of speakers, e.g. ~300 for SXSW 2006.
** help dglazkov markup: http://glazkov.com/blog/archive/2003/12/17/147.aspx

==== [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] ====
* re-add a list of properties per the [[hcard#Property_List|hCard property list]].
* formalize [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar- brainstorming#Tabular_event_calendars]
* flesh out [[hcalendar-examples]] and do a once over on markup/presentation of what RFC2445 examples would look like
* need spec details and then [[hcalendar-examples]] of multi-instance [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] events
* need spec details and then [[hcalendar-examples]] of repeating events
* add explicit explanation and examples for LOCATION [[hcard|hCards]] and ATTENDEE [[hcard|hCards]], perhaps on a separate [[hcalendar-examples]] page.
* need to resolve all outstanding [[hcalendar-issues]] to-do items.
* create [[hcalendar-profile]] and have folks verify it. note that it will likely need reconciliation with the [[hcard-profile]], especially since [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] normatively depends on [[hcard|hCard]]. Probably makes sense to have a combined profile which hCalendar would use.

==== [[hreview|hReview]] ====
* Write hReview 0.3 XMDP profile, and reconcile with [[hcalendar-profile]] and [[hcard-profile]]. Makes sense to have a combined profile of all three for hReview, since hReview normatively depends on hCard and hCalendar.

==== summary Examples in the Wild page ====
* need to create a summary / overall [[examples-in-the-wild]] page
** parallel the summary/overall [[implementations]] page.
** use newly reoganized content from the above "reoganizing Examples in the Wild" task

==== parsing ====
* *-parsing for all microformats: [[hcalendar-parsing]], [[hreview-parsing]], [[xfolk-parsing]], [[hatom-parsing]]

=== introduction / community ===
* microformats-discuss
** introductory email template for new subscribers needs to direct people to [[process]] and [[how-to-play]]
* Need to add more to the [[naming-principles]], to cover in particular:
** avoid using the same name to mean two things
** avoid using two names to mean the same thing
** seek to keep the microformats vocabulary minimal, memorable, and usable.
* update and add details/simplifications to [[process]] given the past several months of experience. in particular:
** clarify requirement (MUST rather than SHOULD) of *-examples, *-formats, before any *-brainstorming.
** Add details of encouragement to experiment with simple semantic class names from *-brainstorming proposals to gain real world experience with real world content.
** note SHOULD prerequisite of use of all relevant microformats on real world web pages, along with documenting such use in respective "Examples in the Wild" sections, before proposing any new microformats.

==== principles and process ====
Create the following pages and document/fill them with content from other pages, email lists, and [[presentations]].
* [[principles]] - mostly [[microformats#the_microformats_principles|documented in the microformats]] page.
* clearer statement of both copyright and patents both in specific specs and in general

==== profiles ====
* update XMDP with new required features:
** ability for one profile to include/import another (rel="import" ?)
** ability to reference an XMDP via rel="profile" (similar to XHTML2 rel value by same name)
** ability/suggestion to reference an XMDP using <a href> in addition to <link>

==== community mark ====
* Can we make "microformat" and "microformats" into [http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/01/14/the-case-for-community-marks/ Community Marks]?

==== document issue resolutions ====
* Prefixing has already been considered and rejected for microformats in general. Note [[naming-conventions]], limited vocabulary, and exceptions made for [[hatom|hAtom]] and how we went about doing so.

=== emerging microformats ===
* [[citation]]
* [[hlisting|hListing]]
* [[media-info]]
* [[licensing]]

=== new microformat requests ===
* expense reports (really just a list of "expense" items), [http://flickr.com/photos/edyson/56774178/ requested by ED], should look at UBL as a pre-existing format
* photo-notes microformat
** clean up Subethaedit notes from working session with Greg Elin, Ryan King, Kevin Marks, Suw Charman and email to folks and figure out next steps
** iterate on [[photo-note-examples]] and start [[photo-note-formats]] and [[photo-note-brainstorming]].

* invoicing microformat
* better microformats wiki theme

== Robert Bachmann ==

=== hCard Creator ===

*** consider a popup menu for the IM service (AIM|Yahoo|...), and a field next to it for the IM id.

=== hAtom2Atom ===

Some ideas for features which could be implemented :

(If you are interested in one of this features, add "<i>+1 Your Name</i>")

<ul>
<li>
Join all hfeed's inside a page (or a fragment thereof) into one feed using [http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4287.html#element.source atom:source] semantics.
</li>
<li>
Extraction of <code>atom:content</code>, <code>atom:summary</code> and <code>atom:title</code>:
* <code>atom:content</code> and <code>atom:summary</code> as HTML
* <code>atom:content</code> and <code>atom:summary</code> as plain-text
* <code>atom:title</code> as XHTML
* <code>atom:title</code> as HTML
</li>
<li>Support for other XSLT engines:
* MSXML
* .Net System.Xml
* Sablotron
* Oracle XSLT
* XT
* hAtom2Atom written using XSL 2.0?
** Do you think this would be useful? I have created a barebones version, doesn't yet take in all the parsing rules yet, but I'd be happy to share. Moving to XSL 2.0 does make things a bit cleaner and more efficient. - Matt Dertinger.

== Ernest Prabhakar ==
=== Wiki-Thon Proposal ===
Set aside several hours (probably a Friday night US PST) for focused work on the Wiki, including both physical (e.g., a room in the Bay Area) and virtual (IRC/iChat) participants.

==== Goals ====
# Improve understanding of what needs to be done for Wiki
#* IMHO - this should be done here, in [[to-do]] incrementally. -Tantek
# Tackle larger projects (~1-2 hours) than people usually have time for
#* I'd like to see these projects *documented* first on [[to-do]] before we spend 1-2 hours of a bunch of folk's collective time to go through them. -Tantek
# Motivate community to have fun with otherwise tedious "housecleaning" chores

==== Agenda (Wishlist) ====
In parallel:
* Coalesce/prioritize existing To-Do items (above)
* Review/revise desired pathways for:
** New users learning about microformats
*** e.g., intro, about, explore, tutorials, etc.
*** cf. [http://www.rubyonrails.com/ Rails] front page
****Get Excited (Why, background, motivation)
****Get Started (What, downloads, getting started)
****Get Better (How, tutorials, )
****Get Involved (Who)
** Microformat lifecycle
*** e.g., research->brainstorm->proposal->spec->maintain
*** see http://theryanking.com/microformats/method.txt --[[User:RyanKing|RyanKing]] 15:35, 22 Feb 2006 (PST)
*** ensure information easy to find, follow, and up-to-date
* Review existing specs for completeness and consistency
* Identify areas of 'bitrot' or 'hole-filling'
* Do it!

=== Vocabulary ===
A lot of knowledge work is about maintaining sets of vocabulary. Now that the vocabulary is emerging, it may be time start making sure everyone is "on the same page," especially since some of the language is highly symbolic.
Terms:
* "boil the ocean" A huge task. "A phrase used in the industry to describe an attempt at something that is way too ambitious. For example, "They're trying to get their site launched by COMDEX. They could easier boil the ocean." from <http://www.netlingo.com/right.cfm?term=boil%20the%20ocean>
* microformats: more than one microformat
* microformat: see my definition on http://microformats.org/wiki/what-are-microformats#BenWest
* data fidelity: the extent to which a data format might be considered lossy. eg HTML is often seen as a lossy format because the information parsed out of a resource may not fully match the information orginally encoded. Non-lossy formats have a very high data fidelity, while lossy formats have low data fidelity. Microformats seek to increase data fidelity of html.
* market: the locus of economic forces

=== Creators ===
_Concession_: my plans involve reuse of code, which would involve non-compatible changes with the current inline model. This is a nice feature, so maybe I should be branching instead.
* <strike>Start hatom creator.</strike> http://dichotomize.com/uf/hatom/creator.html
* Code Reuse. These creators are downright handy, and I’ve reimplemented the vcard one on my own site. Instead, let’s make these widgetized. Let’s decide on a more or less canonical html structure and create some javascript that will create the desired microformat. Something as easy to use as new Microformat.hCard($('mycontainer')); would be awesome. Right now, if someone makes an improvement to the hCard creator, the other creators don’t get the benefit. Spec this out!
* About Section. Is there an official creator page? If so, let’s point to that. The about paragraph is getting longer and longer with phrases like “which is based on…” repeated over and over.
* Default all dates to “right now”. Provide an easy to use calendar type widget to change dates.
* hAtom creator: Add multiple. It’d be nice to add an arbitrary number of entries.
* hAtom creator: Optional feed enclosure. Check box to wrap the entry/entries in an hfeed.
* Edit URI: Allow someone to enter a URI and edit whatever microformat is found on the page.
* Optionals. If the format requires, say, a vcard, the creator can defer to an external URI or can trust the user to fill it in later.
* Common stylesheet. I suppose this goes with the reuseable code idea… we have many great coders, we should be reusing eachothers’ work.
* Use Amazon's ECS to pull in information about products when there is an ASIN in the item URI.

=== Information Architecture ===
'''Help Welcomed! Please leave your name'''
Add complaints to [[wiki-feedback]]!
Helping to make the wiki easier to use. I'd like to see the main page more towards a format like http://simile.mit.edu/solvent/ with the big questions right out front:
* What Is This?
* What can I do here?
* Is there a demo?
* Where can I learn more?
I'd like to change the front page to this kind of design.
==== Support Pages ====
There are several categories of things in the wiki. Can we enumerate them?
* About the Community
** Where to find information.
** Who are the stake holders?
** FAQs
* Web/Architectural Philosophy
** Community Principles
** Why are we doing this?
** XML and Namespaces
** Semantic XHTML
** Common Misconceptions
** Concession and Disposition of Criticism
** FAQs
* Specs
** Examples
** Discussion
** Exploration
** Use Cases
** Implementations
** The spec itself.

* Tips and Tricks for Authoring ([[User:BenWest|BenWest]] 15:00, 9 Dec 2006 (PST))
** how to author semantic html
** choosing class names
** using HTML's general extension mechanisms
** advocating use
** collaborating/reusing HTML
** debugging HTML: use pastebin, separate out the relevant bits.
** getting help from the community
** applying Microformats.

Can others agree and or refine this list? Should I take it to the -discuss list? How do we create consensus on how the wiki should be organized in order to make it more usable? And how can we turn that consensus into actionable changes?

The wiki should also capture wisdom that stems from discussions that don't produce microformats. For example, Chris Messina suggests a "Best Of" page suitable for capturing this kind of wisdom. I think we can think of a given microformat as being at a place in a spectrum that ranges from "not yet thought of", to "interesting but needs work," or even "rejected", and of course including all the stages familiar to the microformats processes (eg examples, brainstorming, etc...).
If there were such a page would it:
* Belong to a microformat? (eg hcard-bestof)
* or to the global namespace? (eg /wiki/wisdom/foobar-format)
(I think Chris Messina suggests that it belongs to a given microformat, but then how do we collect wisdom from non-microformats?)

Considering that the wiki page named with the microformat (i.e. /wiki/hcard) is the one that people will mostly likely look to first for learning about a particular format, I'd think it'd make more sense and create a more welcoming feel to convert these pages to an intro page introducing the format for the beginner and linking to resources like tutorials and creators. Spec pages would then be relocated to wiki/*-spec -- [[User:Cgriego|Cgriego]] 13:25, 16 Oct 2006 (PDT)

====Mike Schinkel's Comments====

My suggestion on the list was for us to use a convention that the entry page (i.e.
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard) would be an index into a list of
(psuedo) standardized sub pages so that it would be very people to
find what is important to them. For example, is a list of potential sub pages:

* Microformat
** Specification
** Tutorial
** Examples
** Use cases
** Reference
** Discussion
** Brainstorming (might be combined w/Discussion)
** Implementations
** Related Pages
** Further Reading
** All (Uses Mediawiki's "includes" to create a page including all sub pages; very useful for printing & reading offline)

These pages would be located respectively at

* http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Specification
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Tutorial
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Examples
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Use_cases
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Reference
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Discussion
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Brainstorming
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Implementations
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Related_Pages
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/Further_Reading
** http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard/All

Please note I am suggesting an architecture not a specific list of sub pages. The list of sub pages should be defined by both reviewing existing information during site reorganization, and then via discussion on the list in an attempt to discover and extract which sub pages are needed for most/all microformats.

'''NOTE''': This differs from above in that the spec if not viewed as a top level structure but instead the microformat itself and the spec would be under the microformat. In this context "microformat" is a more abstract concept and "spec" is a more concrete thing. Another way to think about it would be that each microformat would have it's own mini home page and then things like "spec" are the pages listed on its home page.

<h1> hReview 0.3 </h1>

[[hreview|hReview]] is a simple, open, distributed format, suitable for embedding reviews (of products, services, businesses, events, etc.) in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. hReview is one of several [[microformats]] open standards.

Want to get started with writing an [[hreview|hReview]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hreview/creator hReview creator] to write a review and publish it.

__TOC__

== Introduction ==
Numerous web sites publish reviews using a broad variety of schema for all sorts of things from products (movies, music, books), to businesses (restaurants, hotels, stores), to events (concerts, theatre), to people (artists, leaders, celebrities), to places (landmarks, parks), to online resources (web pages, files), to reviews of reviews themselves.

In order to enable and encourage the sharing, distribution, syndication, and aggregation, of reviews, the authors propose the hReview microformat, an open standard for distributed reviews. The authors have researched both numerous [[review-examples]] in the wild and earlier attempts at [[review-formats]], and have designed hReview around a simple minimal schema for reviews. Feedback is encouraged on the [[hreview-feedback|hReview feedback]] page.

=== Inspiration and Acknowledgments ===
Thanks to everyone who responded to the open call for implementor participation for hReview. The authors in particular wish to thank the following individuals for their constructive input and feedback: [http://www.richardault.com/ Richard Ault], [http://dannyayers.com Danny Ayers], [http://www.vertexdev.com/~jeff/ Jeffrey Barr],[http://adriancuthbert.blogspot.com/ Adrian Cuthbert],[http://jason.defillippo.com/ Jason DeFillippo], [http://www.hybernaut.com/bdv Brian Del Vecchio], Scott Derringer, [http://budgibson.com/home/ Bud Gibson], [http://joi.ito.com/ Joi Ito], [http://www.kanai.net/weblog/ Gen Kanai],[http://niallkennedy.com/ Niall Kennedy], [http://labs.commerce.net/wiki/index.php/Rohit_Khare Rohit Khare], [http://theryanking.com/ Ryan King], [http://www.jluster.org/ Jonas Luster], [http://epeus.blogspot.com/ Kevin Marks], Mark Nottingham, [http://www.powazek.com/ Derek Powazek], [http://www.judysbook.com/ Jeff Rodenburg], [http://sifry.com/alerts/ David Sifry], [http://jystewart.net/ James Stewart], [http://kung-foo.tv/ Adriaan Tijsseling], [http://www.flashenabled.com/ Phillip Torrone], Thai Tran, [http://w6daily.winn.com/ Phillip Winn], [http://yohei-y.blogspot.com YAMAMOTO Yohei].

=== Scope ===
Reviews consistently share several common fields. Where possible hReview has been based on this minimal common subset.

==== Out of scope ====
Fields that are type-specific have been omitted from hReview. It is important that hReview be kept simple and minimal from the start. Additional features can be added as deemed necessary by practical implementation experience.

The concept of a "universal object identifier", that is, how to identify the same object/item/product across different shopping sites, though something very useful to have, is outside the scope of this format.

== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ==
{{semantic-xhtml-design-principles}}

== Format ==
=== In General ===
The hReview format is based on a set of fields common to numerous review sites and formats in use today on the web. Where possible field names have been chosen based on those defined by the related [[hcard|hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] standards.

=== Schema ===
The hReview schema consists of the following:

* hReview ('''<code>hreview</code>''')
** '''<code>version</code>'''. optional. text.
** '''<code>summary</code>'''. optional. text.
** item '''<code>type</code>'''. optional. product | business | event | person | place | website | url.
** '''<code>item</code>''' info. required. ('''<code>fn</code>''' || '''<code>url</code>''' || '''<code>photo</code>''' ) | '''[[hcard|hCard]]''' (for person or business) | '''[[hcalendar|hCalendar]]''' (for event)
** '''<code>reviewer</code>'''. optional. '''[[hcard|hCard]]'''.
** '''<code>dtreviewed</code>'''. optional. ISO8601 absolute date time.
** '''<code>rating</code>'''. optional. fixed point integer [1.0-5.0], with optional alternate '''<code>worst</code>''' (default:1.0) and/or '''<code>best</code>''' (default:5.0), also fixed point integers, and explicit '''<code>value</code>'''.
** '''<code>description</code>'''. optional. text with optional valid XHTML markup.
** tags. optional. keywords or phrases, using '''[[rel-tag]]''', each with optional rating.
** permalink. optional, using '''[[rel-bookmark]]''' and '''[[rel-self]]'''.
** license. optional, using '''[[rel-license]]'''.

=== Field details ===
The fields of the hReview schema represent the following:

'''version''':: This optional field permits hReview publishers to specify a particular version of hReview that their content uses. By omitting this field, the publisher is stating that implementations may interpret the hReviews according to any version of the hReview specification v0.2 or later. In practice the authors of this specification are comitted to maintaining backward compatibility with content produced using earlier versions of the specification. This field is syntax compatible with, and thus reuses the semantics of "VERSION" as defined in vCard RFC2426 section "3.6.9 VERSION Type Definition". The value of this field for this specification is "0.3".

'''summary''':: This optional field serves as a title for the review itself.

'''item type''':: This optional field "type" provides the type of the item being reviewed, one of the following: product, business, event, person, place, website, url. If omitted, then in some cases the item type may be inferred. If the item is also an [[hcard|hCard]], then the item type is a "business" or a "person" based upon which of those the hCard represents. If the item is also an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] event, then the item type is an "event".

'''item info''':: This required field MUST have at a minimum the name ("fn" - the formatted text corresponding to the name) of ''the'' item (an hReview describes only one item), SHOULD provide at least one URI ("url") for the item, and MAY provide at least one URL to a photo or depiction ("photo") of the item. For items of type person or business, the item info (fn, url, photo) MUST be encapsulated in an [[hcard|hCard]]. For items of type event, the item info SHOULD be encapsulated in an [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] "vevent". Unique item IDs (e.g. ISBNs, UPCs) MAY be represented as a URN ("url") for the item.

'''reviewer''':: The optional field specifies the person who authored the review. If the reviewer is specified, an hCard representing the reviewer MUST be provided. For anonymous reviews, use "anonymous" (without quotes) for the full name of the reviewer. If no "reviewer" is found inside the hReview, parsers should look outside the hReview, in the context of the page, for the "reviewer". If there is no "reviewer" outside either, then parsers should use the author defined by the containing document language, e.g. for (X)HTML documents, the <code><nowiki><address></nowiki></code> contact info for the page (which is ideally marked up as an [[hcard|hCard]] as well), for Atom 1.0 the <code><nowiki><entry></nowiki></code> <code><nowiki><author></nowiki></code> if present and if not the <code><nowiki><feed></nowiki></code> <code><nowiki><author></nowiki></code>, for RSS the <code><nowiki><author></nowiki></code> inside the containing <code><nowiki><item></nowiki></code> element.

'''dtreviewed''':: This optional field when present MUST provide an ISO8601 absolute date time of when the review was written or otherwise authored. This field SHOULD use UTC, but MAY use the time zone offset syntax. If dtreviewed is absent from the hReview, then look outside the hReview, in the surrounding context. If the context is an [[hatom|hAtom]] entry, use its "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) datetime as the dtreviewed, if not present on the entry, use the "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) of the feed. Otherwise use the creation date (or modified date if that is missing) information according to the containing document language (e.g. "published"/"updated" similarly for Atom feeds), then protocol (e.g. HTTP Last-Modified, or file system last modified datetime) as the dtreviewed.

'''rating''':: The rating is a fixed point integer (one decimal point of precision) from 1.0 to 5.0 inclusive indicating a rating for the item, higher indicating a better rating by default. Optionally a different integral "worst" value and/or "best" value MAY be specified (e.g. 6 from 0-10). The "best" value may be numerically smaller than the "worst" value.

'''description''':: This optional field contains the full text representing the written opinion of the reviewer. The field MAY include valid XHTML markup (e.g. paragraphs). User agents SHOULD preserve any markup. Multiple descriptions or section descriptions (e.g. pros and cons, plusses and minusses) SHOULD be included in the description field.

'''tags''':: Tags are represented using a list of keywords or phrases (using the [[rel-tag]] microformat for each individual keyword or phrase tag) that the reviewer associates with the item. The reviewer MAY optionally provide a tag-specific rating inside each [[rel-tag]], e.g. ambience:5. Tag-specific ratings by default use the same range as an overall rating for the item if present, and MAY also have a custom worst...best range specified. Authors MAY also invert this structure for the same semantic if it is more convenient for their markup, that is, place the [[rel-tag]] inside a rating to indicate a rated tag. Note: rated tags should ideally use a tag space that explains what the ratings for that tag mean. E.g. Food:18/30 should link to a tags space for Food that explains what an 18 out of 30 means for the Food tag.

'''permalink''':: This optional field is a URL for the hReview. In addition to using the <code><a href></code> tag for this field, the attribute <code>rel="self bookmark"</code> MUST be used to indicate that the hyperlink is a permalink for the review itself. If the hyperlink already contains a <code>rel</code> attribute, then the values <code>self</code> and <code>bookmark</code> MUST be included among the space-separated set of values in the attribute. Indexers MAY treat the permalink of a review as a unique ID in order to identify and collate the same review from multiple sources (such as indexing a page multiple times). The permalink MAY also be used to indicate or imply the origin of the review. Authors MAY use the classname of "permalink" on the element representing the permalink, but are not required to do so.

The following field names have been reused from the [[hcard|hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] microformats: <code>version, summary, fn, url, email, photo, description, categories</code>. In addition, items and reviewers described by hCards MAY contain any hCard field. The rel value "self" has been reused from the [http://atompub.org/2005/07/11/draft-ietf-atompub-format-10.html Atom 1.0 specification].

'''license''':: This optional field links to the license under which the contents of the hReview itself is licensed, using the '''[[rel-license]]''' microformat.

=== More Semantic Equivalents ===

For some properties there is a more semantic equivalent, and therefore they get special treatment, e.g.:

* For any "url", use <code><a class="url" href="...">...</a></code> inside the element with the class name 'hreview' in hReview.
* Similarly, any "email", use <code><nowiki><a class="email" href="mailto:...">...</a></nowiki></code>
* And for "photo", use <code><img class="photo" src="..." alt="Photo of ..." /></code>

* Ratings are often presented either as a set of images or characters, e.g. "***". For these, the <code><abbr></code> element is particularly useful, as such characters are an abbreviation for the precise rating, e.g. <code><abbr class="rating" title="3">***</abbr></code>. This is further explored in the next section.

==== Language ====
* To explicitly convey the natural language that an hReview is written in, use the standard (X)HTML 'lang' attribute on the element with class="hreview", e.g. <code><div class="hreview" lang="en"> ... </div></code> If portions of an hReview (e.g. the item name) are in a different language, use the 'lang' attribute on those portions.
* hReview processors which need to handle the language of reviews MUST process the standard (X)HTML 'lang' attribute as specified.

=== Human vs. Machine Readable ===
If an <code><abbr></code> element is used for a property, then its '<code>title</code>' attribute is used for the value of the property, instead of the contents of the element, which can then be used to provide a user-friendly alternate presentation of the value.

Similarly, if an <code><img /></code> element is used for one or more properties, it MUST be treated as follows:

# For the "photo" property and any other property that takes a URL as its value, the <code>src="..."</code> attribute provides the property value.
# For other properties, the <code><img /></code> element's '<code>alt</code>' attribute is the value of the property.

=== Object Includes ===

hReview 0.3 includes support for the object [[include-pattern]].

Often a single page lists an item, and then several reviews for that item. In order to avoid having to repeat the item info for each review of the item, the first review should be marked up as an hReview, with a unique "id" attribute on the item info, and then following reviews should use the object [[include-pattern]] to include the item info from the first review.

=== Notes ===
This section is informative.

* By marking up a review with the hReview microformat, the expectation is communicated that the review MAY be indexed. This has no impact on the copyright of the review itself which the publisher may explicitly specify using [[rel-license]] as specified above.
* The enumerated list of item types is under development and may be extended.
* Each type may have custom hReview fields that follow the common set.
* Additional details about a particular item should be specified with the rest of the item's info at the URL provided for the item.
* Most rating systems use the range 1.0 to 5.0, and most of those represent the rating as a number (and possibly half) of stars. Sites may use whatever graphic they wish to represent the rating.

== Examples ==
Here are a few examples of reviews from current web sites, and how they could be easily enhanced to support the hReview structured review microformat.

=== Restaurant reviews ===

Here is an example of a simple online restaurant review:

<pre><nowiki>
<div>
<span>5 stars out of 5 stars</span>
<h4>Crepes on Cole is awesome</h4>
<span>Reviewer: <span>Tantek</span> - April 18, 2005</span>
<blockquote><p>
Crepes on Cole is one of the best little creperies in San Francisco.
Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes
for parties large and small. Window seating makes for excellent
people watching to/from the N-Judah which stops right outside.
I've had many fun social gatherings here, as well as gotten
plenty of work done thanks to neighborhood WiFi.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Visit date: <span>April 2005</span></p>
<p>Food eaten: <span>Florentine crepe</span></p>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Adding hReview to this review is quite simple:

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hreview">
<span><span class="rating">5</span> out of 5 stars</span>
<h4 class="summary">Crepes on Cole is awesome</h4>
<span class="reviewer vcard">Reviewer: <span class="fn">Tantek</span> -
<abbr class="dtreviewed" title="20050418T2300-0700">April 18, 2005</abbr></span>
<div class="description item vcard"><p>
<span class="fn org">Crepes on Cole</span> is one of the best little

Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes

</p></div>
<p>Visit date: <span>April 2005</span></p>
<p>Food eaten: <span>Florentine crepe</span></p>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Note that some of the properties of this sample review are not captured by hReview (visit date, food eaten). This is deliberate per the scope of keeping hReview minimal and simple.

This sample hReview could be rendered like this:

5 stars out of 5 stars<br />
'''Crepes on Cole is awesome'''<br />
Reviewer: Tantek - April 18, 2005<br />

Crepes on Cole is one of the best little creperies in San Francisco. Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes for parties large and small.

==== Multidimensional Restaurant Review ====
Some restaurant reviews indicate ratings for different aspects of the restaurant. Such details are represented in hReview using tagged ratings. In addition, note the inline tags inside the description of this review.

Here is one such review in text format:

Cafe Borrone

1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, CA 94025, +1-650-327-0830;
cafeborrone.com

Food: 18/30; Ambience: 19/30; Service: 15/30; Price: $$...

This cafe is a welcoming oasis on the Peninsula. It even has a fountain
outside which cloaks the nearby sounds of El Camino traffic. Next door to a
superb indy bookstore, Cafe Borrone is an ideal spot to grab a coffee or a
snack to accompany a newly purchased book or imported periodical. Soups and
sandwich specials rotate daily. The corn chowder with croutons and big
chunks of cheese goes especially well with a freshly toasted mini-baguette.
Evenings are often crowded and may require sharing a table with a perfect
stranger. Espresso afficionados will appreciate the Illy coffee. Noise
levels can vary from peaceful in the late mornings to nearly overwhelming on
jazz band nights.

Review ([http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview hReview v0.3]) by anonymous, April 28th, 2005.

=== Product review ===
Here is an example of a product review:

<pre><nowiki>
<div>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000089CJI/">
<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000089CJI.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg"
alt="Album cover photo: The Postal Service: Give Up." />
The Postal Service: Give Up</a>
<blockquote><p>
"The people thought they were just being rewarded for treating others
as they like to be treated, for obeying stop signs and curing diseases,
for mailing letters with the address of the sender... Don't wake me,
I plan on sleeping in..."
</p><p>
"Nothing Better" is a great track on this album, too...
</p></blockquote>
(*****)
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Adding hReview to this review is also quite simple, but in this case requires a few more elements for the rating and reviewer which are required by hReview:

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hreview">
<a class="item url" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000089CJI/">
<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000089CJI.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg"

class="photo" />
<span class="fn">The Postal Service: Give Up</span></a>
<div class="description"><p>
"The people thought they were just being rewarded for treating others
as they like to be treated, for obeying stop signs and curing diseases,
for mailing letters with the address of the sender... Don't wake me,

</nowiki></pre>

And this hReview might be presented like this:

[Album cover photo: ]

The Postal Service: Give Up

"The people thought they were just being rewarded for treating others as they like to be treated, for obeying stop signs and curing diseases, for mailing letters with the address of the sender... Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in..."

== Work in progress ==
This specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added.

=== Changes from v0.2 ===
The following changes have been made in hReview v0.3 over [[hreview-v0.2|hReview v0.2]]:

Normative changes:
# MUST (instead of SHOULD) use [[hcard|hCard]] for the item description of a business or person
# "reviewer" changes
## Made reviewer *optional* per feedback from Ryan King and Mark Nottingham
## If reviewer is absent from the hReview, then look outside the hReview, in the context of the page, for the reviewer. If there is no "reviewer" outside either, then use the author information according to the containing document language (e.g. <code><nowiki><address></nowiki></code> for (X)HTML pages) as the reviewer.
## MUST (instead of SHOULD) use [[hcard|hCard]] to represent reviewer information
# "dtreviewed" changes
## Made dtreviewed *optional* per feedback from Ryan King and Mark Nottingham
## If dtreviewed is absent from the hReview, then look outside the hReview, in the surrounding context. If the context is an [[hatom|hAtom]] entry, use its "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) datetime as the dtreviewed, if not present on the entry, use the "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) of the feed. Otherwise use the information according to the containing document language (e.g. "published"/"updated" similarly for Atom feeds), then protocol (e.g. HTTP Last-Modified, or file system last modified datetime).
# SHOULD use [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] to represent an item of 'type' 'event'
# Added one decimal digit of precision to ratings' numerical values based on publisher experience.
# Use [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Value_excerpting the "value" construct from hCard] (as it is used in "tel" properties for example) to more explicitly markup the rating value when also providing (marking up) the best/worst of a rating.
# Added [[rel-license]] to indicate the license of the hReview as a whole.
# Permit tags inside ratings to denote rated tags, the same as ratings inside tags per suggestion from Eran Globen.
# Add [[include-pattern]] support to allow multiple reviews for the same item to not repeat the item info.

Informative changes (several, but in particular):
# Note that scalar/rated tags would ideally use a tag space that explain the ratings for that tag. E.g. to explain what Food:18/30 means.
# Updated examples accordingly.

== Discussions ==
* Feedback is encouraged on the [[hreview-feedback]] page.
* See also [http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/referer.html blogs discussing this page].
