Or~~ [[~~VoteLinks~~\|<code>rev="vote-against"</code>]]?		XEN is satire and not serious, it itself documents that it is not for use: "XEN is not a microformat. It is a joke."

			== votelinks reuse ==
			What if we just use [[vote-links\|<code>rev="vote-against"</code>]]?

			It is possible, yet based on examples, sometimes all that one may have to block is a name, not a link, and thus [[vote-links]] are insufficient.

			In addition, minimizing re-use of vote-links minimizes further suggestions of using the 'rev' attribute, per the [[rel-faq]].

Brainstorm proposals for a [[block list]] microformat. Part of the effort to enable greater [[social network portability]].

== simple container of hCards ==

On sites that present an interface to view and edit a block list (see [[block-list-examples]]), they nearly always have a containing list, div or table element that surrounds all the names (and/or URLs) of those that are blocked.

Thus:

* root classname: '''blocklist'''

individually blocked people, users, accounts etc are represented by hCards inside the element with classname "blocklist".

Thus an individual may be represented by name, or by URL (e.g. a user profile URL), or both, and thus a site can block specific user profiles, or perhaps "fuzzy" block any individual that matches a given name, or perhaps even provide an interface to manage blocking of specific accounts that appear to match just a name in a block list.

=== example ===
Here is a simple example of a block list using this brainstormed format:
<pre><nowiki>
<ul class="blocklist">
<li class="vcard">
<a class="fn url" href="/people/boarsunderabridge">boarsunderabridge</a>
</li>
<li class="vcard">
<a class="fn url" href="/people/flyinlentils">Flyin Lentils</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nowiki></pre>
