[html5] Help Digest, Vol 26, Issue 4

Mon Oct 12 20:24:06 PDT 2009

I thought I would add in my comment here. I am no html5 expert (that's  
why I'm subscribing to this) but it seems to me that there is some  
danger of confusion between the site owner and the site designer (I am  
presuming that this is not your own site).

For that reason I don't think that the address tag is appropriate even  
if it did include more address info, as it should describe the site  
owners address not the designers. Having said that there is really no  
appropriate tag I can find to use. A quick search of microformats.org  
also gave me nothing.

Maybe the only option is to use your own descriptive tag, say  
<sitedesign>?
