[uf-discuss] Can singular sub-properties be mixed with parent property?

Thu Oct 27 15:53:22 PDT 2005

I just added hCard formatting to the contact info on my personal 
website, and I came across some uncertainty about handling of 
singular sub-properties.
My two actual cases were, class="org organization-name" and 
class="tel value", both of which appear to be redundant on further 
reading. But is this kind of mixing of sub-properties with parent 
properties in the same class list generally proper syntax for cases 
where only one sub-property is used? If, for example, I wanted to 
indicate that I work in the espionage department, but not specify 
which company I work for, would the following be okay?
 Espionage </a>
Or if I only wanted to list my last name?
Smith
And while I'm at it, what if two sub-properties have the same value? 
If one's name were "Rose Rose," could I do the following?
Rose
On another note, I didn't previously mention any type on my address, 
but it was imported as a business address for some reason, so I 
wanted to specify the type as home. I don't see any way to do this 
without adding information to my content, .e.g Home, which is what I did. It's not a big deal 
for me, but this is the first time I've needed to change the content 
of a page in order to add a microformat, and I thought it might be 
worth mentioning.
Peace,
Scott
