HTML4 definition of the 'class' attribute.</a>
This meta data profile defines some 'class' attribute values (class names)
and their meanings as suggested by a
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-htmllink-970328#profile">
draft of "Hypertext Links in HTML"</a>.
All values are defined according to the semantics defined in the
<a rel="help start" href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hlisting">
hListing specification</a>.
</p>
<dl>
<dt id="hlisting">hlisting</dt>
<dd>The root class name and container for a listing.
</dd>
<dt id="version">version</dt>
<dd>This optional property permits hListing publishers to specify a particular version of hListing that their content uses. By omitting this property, the publisher is stating that implementations may interpret the hListings according to any version of the hListing specification v0.0 or later. In practice the authors of this specification are committed to maintaining backward compatibility with content produced using earlier versions of the specification. This property is syntax compatible with, and thus reuses the semantics of "VERSION" as defined in vCard RFC2426 section "3.6.9 VERSION Type Definition".
</dd>
<dt id="summary">summary</dt>
<dd>This optional property serves as a short synopsis, title, or name of the listing. Re-used from hReview which re-uses it from hCalendar which re-uses it from iCalendar (section 4.8.1.12 of RFC 2445).
</dd>
