Ah, to top-post or to bottom-post, that is the question! :-)

Ugh for real ;)

Well, it does get tricky. What if we have this?

<html>
<head>
<meta name='microid' content='foo'/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The Foo Page!</h1>
<div class='microid-bar'>
<h2>The Bar Area!</h2>
<p class='microid-baz'>Hey Bar, I like your area!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Confusing, eh?

So the relevant claim is always that of the nearest containing element in the hierarchy.

Yes - that makes sense. And I mean....we could say that the whole page container could go in html, though I'm sure that would break all sorts of validation. So maybe can position the meta whole page claim as a "middle ground" exception. AFAIK it is really the only exception we need to make.

Thanks,

There seems a need for a Scope section... or at least a statement about
the scope of authorship being 'declared/claimed' for each use-case in
section 7.

Here's a stab...


The MicroID declares authorship/ownership of the content 'beneath' it in
the Document Object Model, and nothing more. A MicroID present in the
<meta/> tag specifies a claim for the entire page. A MicroID present in
a <div></div> specifies a claim for only the content residing within
that subset of the page.
