[rdfweb-dev] advocating use of rdf:ID / rdf:about attributes on foaf:Person tags

[Jonathan Greensted]

I vote for <birthday/> eg. the day of your birth in standard xml date format.

IMHO, the only risk is people don't correctly use the year value but 
presentation layer code should deal with that problem.  eg. ask for birthday 
and age then match them to create a confirm the correct value.

It also allows you to include a time element for those of us who care about 
what time we were born.
