{{DISPLAYTITLE: hCard brainstorming Rejected Suggestions }}
These are suggestions made as part of [[hCard brainstorming]] that have been rejected.

Suggestion: ''The use of class="url" on an <a> tag to represent an [[hCard]] URL property is redundant. By virtue of the <a> tag you know this is a URL.''

Rejected.  This is a bad suggestion because although it appears to reduce redunancy and keep things cleaner, it also creates a few problems. Without explicitly noting that this is a URL then any <a> tags within a 'vcard' would be considered a URL, for example:
<pre><nowiki>
<span class="vcard">
...
<ul class="categories">
<li><a href="http://w3c.org">W3C</a></li>
</ul>
...
</span>
</nowiki></pre>

There is no way to "turn-off" the encoding of the W3C URL, whereas if "url" needed to be explicitly listed in the class attribute list, then by NOT listing it you could effectively turn it off.
