epoch
does using a class="u-geo" href="geo:etc" work?
#
epoch
I haven't seen any explicit examples or mentions saying it will
#
epoch
otherwise I'll have to update the lat and lon in two spots if I want to use the same location as both h-geo and a link to a geo: URI
#
[tantek]
epoch, depends on what you mean by "work?" (e.g. by what consuming code use-case?) and in what context β€” i.e. inside of what h-* object?
#
epoch
for any already-existing thing that may be looking for it inside of an h-card
#
[tantek]
if you don't know of a specific consuming code use-case, it's unclear it's worth marking it up
#
epoch
alright, then maybe I'll make something. :)
#
[tantek]
that's the spirit πŸ™‚
#
epoch
it might be entertaining to do a "locations of recent comments" for webmentions.
#
epoch
using h-geo by default and fallback to IP-based
#
[tantek]
totally. I think aaronpk was going to do something that used JS for timezone and then IP-based for fallback similar to that. we discussed it in #indieweb-dev

anybody know an idiomatic way to handle archived copies of dead links with microformats?
#
Seirdy
basically I currently auto-replace dead links across my site with Wayback Machine snapshots, and that includes e.g. webmention sources
#
Seirdy
so if the u-url is dead, i currently just replace it with the wayback snapshot if one exists. i feel like i should have a "u-archived-copy" (i just made up that microformat) and "p-original-url" ("p" because i wouldn't wanna actually link a non-existent page).

it's an interesting brainstorm / use-case. might be worth considering it in the context of h-cite and what would you want an h-cite consuming application to do with the information.
#
[tantek]
you don't need p-original-url. you can use "p-url" for an unlinked URL already
#
barnaby
in lieu of a new property, you could just use u-url for both
#
barnaby
although I can’t think of a good justification for which one should be first
#
[tantek]
I think there have been prior discussions about how do you publish / communicate a set of alternative URLs for something
#
[tantek]
on a page level obviously rel=alternate "works"
#
[tantek]
but in the use-case of linking to other things, that's why I suggested considering it in the context of h-cite use-cases and consuming code
#
[tantek]
as soon as you want to structure something beyond a single property, you need to wrap a minimal object around it. hence h-cite could work for that

gRegor
perhaps u-alternate to match the rel-alternate meaning, but for the microformat object
#
gRegor
Maybe u-syndication? I know IA isn't really a syndication, but existing property...
#
gRegor
With more thought don't really like either of those, heh.
