Hello I have updated some of the pages relating to a comment microformat see: http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-examples http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-formats And also http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-brainstorming I believe a simple comment format is achievable, but first I have some things that need to be discussed The common consensus is that a comment format should rest in the realm of hAtom particularly hEntry, I kind of agree accept for one or two points The hAtom spec says : "an Entry /SHOULD/ have an Entry Title" Unfortunately None of the comment examples Support an entry-title element, in fact the "title" of a comment rarely occurs in common practice. How would a comment microformat (should it reuse hatom terms) resolve the concept of entry-title? http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Entry_Title The hAtom spec' also says: an Entry /SHOULD/ have an Entry Permalink Permalinks to comments DO occur but only around 40% of the time in the examples I have studied, but more often than that there is no permalink at all. The easy solution to that I suppose is require that every comment /must/ have a unique ID then a "permalink" can be generated into a fragment url eg: http://someweb.com/page#comment1, but isnt this imposing too much on would be authors by explicitly stating that every comment /must/ have an ID http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Entry_Permalink Thanks. -- Martin McEvoy http://weborganics.co.uk/
