The practice of POSH

]]> POSH stands for Plain Old Semantic HTML, and lets face it, POSH sounds better than semantic HTML. Check out the POSH checklist.

Poshformats on the other hand are various data formats constructed by using common, semantic class names, which are less formal than microformats. Whenever some one or some organisation creates a common class name, this is considered a ‘poshformat’, like for example the hRelease for pressreleases, or MacroID, a small decentralized verifiable identity format.

Andy Clarke talks about meaningful mark-up over at StuffAndNonsense, on The Fine Art of Markup and discusses What’s in a name, covering the conventions webdevelopers use in naming their id’s for page elements (way back in 2004). So, do you follow convention?
