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.

- I think a class flag is a great idea, but I don't believe we have any samples for invoices. However, if we look at order review vs. order summary rather than invoices vs. receipts, the payment flag does become relevant in many of the sampled online stores.
- How would such a flag be implemented?
<div class="hreceipt unpaid"/"hreceipt paid">...
<div class="hreceipt" title="paid">...</div>

The semantic class names found are a good start, although the "review" part appears to be context-specific (reviewing an order). Additionally, the implied hierarchy in names such as "reviewTotalsSummary" and "receiptOrderPlacedOn" is probably unnecessary for our purposes.
Notes:
- Supports multiple shipments.
- Gift options.
- Explicitly stated credit-card charge.
- purchase total
- items (informal description of two items, including quantity)
- recipient name
- order id
- billed-to name
No relevant semantic HTML.
Notes:
- Quite minimal and informal receipt. Good example of how a microformat would preserve human readability and informal style while enabling machine reading.

This semantic HTML is the most complete and well-thought-out I've seen in this analysis. It even makes use of the fieldset element in forms, something I've never seen before.Lastorset 16:21, 25 Jul 2007 (PDT)
Microformats used:
- hCard (non-compliant due to missing formatted name): buyer contact info
Notes:
- Explicitly stated credit-card charge.
- Displayed credit-card-statement reference.
- Explicitly displayed seller address (one seller per order).
Symantec
- buyer name

- payment method
- last 4 digits
- appears on statement as "DR *Symantec"
- items
- qty
- product name
- platform
- delivery method
- price
- subtotal
- grand total

No relevant semantic HTML
Notes:
- As an e-mail "order reminder" rather than a receipt, this was slightly more informal than the other samples. As such there was
- no order id
- a permalink
- "Delivery method" could be download or ship.
