But, if no one is using @profile in combination with class since it's undefined, why not define it as something like namespacing the class element? Or, for that matter, div and span elements? Especially as that would be compatible with mixing and matching current microformats? I'm not the only one whose thinking this way - Ryan King from Technorati had this conversation with me where we thought this might be a sensible way to address the @profile/head issue. > Mark. -- -harry Harry Halpin, University of Edinburgh http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin 6B522426
