<p>SitdaRouca: chilili</p> <hr /> <div>domviricdron<br /> &lt;h1&gt;Semantic XHTML Design Principles&lt;/h1&gt;<br /> <br /> {{semantic-xhtml-design-principles}}<br /> <br /> ==Semantic XHTML and Microformats==<br /> (from Tantek Çelik on the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.microformats.general/6014 microformats-discuss mailing list])<br /> <br /> Note that microformats use semantic XHTML, but not all use of semantic<br /> XHTML are microformats.<br /> <br /> Web designers and authors are using semantic XHTML everyday without using<br /> microformats, and that's perfectly fine. They are not trying to create<br /> standards and interoperably/automatically exchange data with each other.<br /> They are simply expressing the semantics of their documents.<br /> <br /> Whereas microformats follow a specific process and are intended to provide<br /> a way for publishers worldwide to easily interoperably exchange simple<br /> bits of data.<br /> <br /> http://microformats.org/wiki/process<br /> <br /> This distinction between &quot;semantic XHTML&quot; and &quot;microformats&quot; is very<br /> important to understand and is often confused - I've even seen W3C staff<br /> themselves call microformats &quot;just using good class names&quot;, which is<br /> incorrect. (Using good class names is simply one of the practices of<br /> semantic XHTML).</div>
