@eravila_ Válgame.... ¿Microformats? (twitter.com/_/status/641602892391129088)
#
@computandi The acronym POSH was coined on 6 April 2007 on the microformats IRC channel, by <kwijibo> as a shorthand for "plain old semantic HTML". (twitter.com/_/status/641603779918438400)
#
@inkovic I'm guessing some of these might be microformats, which I why I don't like Microformats as a way to express semantic data. (twitter.com/_/status/641627661568110592)

@kartik_prabhu @inkovic Actually none of those except maybe “product” look like microformats. Seem more like crazy class naming conventions. (twitter.com/_/status/641652563197095936)
#
tantek KartikPrabhu: "product" there is not a microformat either. hproduct is a classic root class name but that's it.
#
KartikPrabhu I know. :)
#
tantek however the problem of "I'm guessing some of these might be microformats" is one of the reasons why we adopted consistent prefixes for mf2
#
KartikPrabhu I was giving some leeway in the argument ;)
#
KartikPrabhu yes. the prefix thing is a good improvement in mf2. unfortunately it seems these "class-naming conventions" are also adopting prefixes like "u-" for "utilities"
#
KartikPrabhu should find reference

@ericwbailey I just totally remembered that `rel="crush"` is a thing: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-crush (twitter.com/_/status/641653819848437764)
#
KartikPrabhu tantek: see: http://csswizardry.com/2015/08/bemit-taking-the-bem-naming-convention-a-step-further/#namespaces
#
KartikPrabhu where "u-" is used for "utilities" in a BEM notation
#
KartikPrabhu also the link aaronpk posted
#
tantek might be worth pointing them to mf2 and saying hey - mf2 has been using u- (and h- p- dt- e-) since 2009
#
KartikPrabhu "we used it first" does not make for any reasonable discussion
#
tantek more like FYI - has been in existing use since 2009 as a data point
#
aaronpk eh it's not like that's gonna get them to stop
#
KartikPrabhu aaronpk: yeah that's what I meant. They might blame it on mf2 being not good since it uses classes
#
aaronpk yeah pretty much
