&gt; For example: &quot;may be used for labelling, styling or indicating meaning&quot;.
&gt; 
&gt; c/f use of class in microformats

See also issues described in http://microformats.org/2005/10/19/more-than-styling

Perhaps the word &quot;semantic&quot; should be used? I&apos;ve started a wiki page at

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale:

I don&apos;t understand the suggestions.

Is the &quot;may&quot; in &quot;may be used&quot; intended to have the RFC2119 meaning? If so, is it intended to restrict or to allow? Or is this suggestion supposed to just be a non-normative description of the purpose of the attribute?</thetext>
