[tantek] Can you advise on what should be put in the Specifications / browser compatability section?
#
capjamesg[d]
I assume rel=me is compatible in all browsers? Should we cite the microformats wiki for the specification reference?

That and gmpg.org

capjamesg[d], you can cite gmpg.org/xfn/11#me for the original rel=me specification for now
#

capjamesg[d], however, the microformats wiki page for it needs some serious updating: https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (lots of stuff there needs to be moved to past / previously section or page)
#

"compatible in all browsers" doesn't really mean much because all rel values technically are because that's just part of HTML5?
#
[tantek]2
the more important question is whether any browsers actually *do* anything special with rel=me, which AFAIK the answer is no (in contrast to say, rel=stylesheet obviously makes things happen in a browser)

capjamesg[d], this gets back to the general methodology approach of, FIRST make sure the microformats wiki pages on a subject are updated / valid, BEFORE creating a similar page / summary on MDN.

to be clear, I'm happy to work with you on updating https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me which likely requires rescoping / rewriting it (as a more "spec-like" page), and moving at least some of the "how to" or examples etc. to https://indieweb.org/rel-me

[tantek] I had already been working on this before we had that discussion 🙂
#
capjamesg[d]
I can assist with updating the rel=me page to be more "spec like".
#

And then revise MDN as appropriate.
