Talk:Plain Old Semantic HTML

A re-write
Oh my goodness, yes, a re-write is definately in order here - especially since plain old HTML isn't anything but using tags as they were originally designated rather than as gimmicks for web tricks.

Before this article gets wacked, give a few of us time to grab some authoritative sources and define and explain the topic ... with proper attribution to its microformats origin, w/out coming across like a blatant plug for microformats.

Prod & de-prod
I've just de-prodded this:
 * It's a genuine term, dating back to 2007 - maybe earlier.
 * It's used by the microformats community to refer to "the other way" of working. I've not heard it used outside of the microformats community, used by the plain web design crowd, the semantic HTML crowd or the the RDF / RDFa crowd.

I would support keeping this an article. If others wanted rid, I'd suggest a redir to microformats, rather than semantic HTML. Either way wants some discussion, not just a prod and vanishing. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The question is whether or not reliable secondary sources have covered it. If not, it's just a piece of jargon. I've re-tagged for notability. As to where to redirect, microformats is probably the right call if it's defined exclusively as "y'know, not microformats". Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
