Real-World Examples

Bill / Invoice

Bills or Invoices are "yet to be paid" items.

Question: Perhaps these examples (yet to be provided) should be moved to a separate page as Bill/Invoice is quite different from Receipt.

With hResume, I've suggested that the subtle difference between actively seeking work and just presenting your resume be a case of including hlisting markup.

With bills vs invoices, it may turn out that the content found within would be identical, and it might just be a case of putting in a class flag to indicate whether the presented document has been paid for or not.
