Re: Breadcrumbs proposal

Thanks for the explanation, nice to know. I'm new in getting a bit
involved like this, so I just thought I'd put up the question.

As for your question: 'Is nesting the markup an additional level with
each breadcrumb link one of those things that publishers often get
wrong?

I don't know if in many cases it's the publishers that get it wrong
but in my experience it's more that people are bound to the CMS they
use. Unfortunately it often takes the big CMS's a long time to
implement features like schema.org correctly?) and writing your own
modules simply isn't part of the skill-set of the majority of folks.

>From a semantic standpoint I'd prefer the nested breadcrumb. I think
it's the most correct. But...
Making it a nested breadcrumb makes it difficult to implement on
current CMS's because their breadcrumb systems mostly are based on an
ordered structure.

Now if we somehow could get the right people at the big platforms
(Drupal, WordPress, Magento and such) involved maybe they could give
some useful input.

In the end I'd like to get a 100% semantical correct breadcrumb but if
we'd need to settle for a 80% correct breadcrumb, because that way it
can be easier implemented on current systems, I'd be more than happy
to except that as well if it means we can move ahead and finally can
get it implemented.
