hey all
#
strugee
I'm reading http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me - am I right in thinking that rel="me" is just specified in XFN? so it can't be considered a separate spec?
#
Loqi
rel="me"
#
strugee
separate/standalone
#
strugee
(for context I'm adding rel-* specs to Specref)
#
strugee
also in http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-enclosure I'm assuming the author section means Kevin Marks _of_ Technorati, Inc.?
#
Loqi
rel="enclosure"
#
tantek
hey strugee
#
tantek
normative reference for rel=me is XFN 1.1
#
tantek
see the rel registry for which specification which rel value is specified in
#
strugee
tantek: thx
#
strugee
should I be looking at the registry instead of http://microformats.org/wiki/Main_Page#rel_microformats?
#
Loqi
Welcome to the microformats wiki!
#
strugee
tantek: would you have time to do a quick pass on the Specref PR when I submit it? you're more familiar than I am with the specs/process
#
strugee
if so I'll cc you
#
tantek
you may be able to automatie that from the tables in the rel registry: http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values
#
Loqi
existing rel values
#
tantek
strugee - you don't me - you can verify directly ^^
#
strugee
ah great
#
tantek
scroll down to the "me" value
#
Loqi
existing rel values
#
tantek
note the right-most column "Link to defining specification "
#
strugee
thanks tantek!
#
strugee
I'll probably send some patches to all the SocialWG specs that need these too
#
strugee
when it's done
#
strugee
sorry, got another question - http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag says "Microformats Specification" in the sidebar but the header says draft spec
#
Loqi
rel="tag"
#
strugee
does that just mean "this is what the draft was when it became a living standard"?
#
tantek
in practice a lot of the "draft" microformats, especially if older, are effectively frozen, like enough stuff has been built on top that they can't really change
#
strugee
makes sense
#
strugee
they should still be cited as Draft Standards though, yeah? until "upstream" is fixed?
#
tantek
they're basically draft because no one has committed time/resources to create test suites, document results etc.
#
tantek
"living standard" is the closest accurate summary though
#
strugee
makes sense, but which should go in normative references?
#
strugee
sorry, I feel like I'm bikeshedding a bit
#
tantek
I guess I don't know what context you mean so it's not making much sense
#
tantek
like what you're asking sounds abstract, so I would just put something generic like "standard" without indicating any status or anything else
#
strugee
tantek: I'm adding entries to the Specref database so I don't know exactly where they'd be used, but places like the "Normative References" section of W3C documents, etc.

strugee
also are the people listed on http://www.gmpg.org/xfn/11 the authors of XFN as a whole?
#
strugee
