hMeaningless Microformat

Abstract

hMeaningless is an easy to implement microformat indicating the lack of semantic markup. Adding class="meaningless" to any HTML element indicates that the element contains no semantic markup what-so-ever. furthermore, the element contains no meaningful content, should not be parsed, validated or exported for any reason and should be ignored completely.

<p class="meaningless">...</p>

Usage Example

<div class="meaningless">
<b><font size="+2">Why WYSIWYG ROCKS</font></b>
I likes my bolds <b>emboldened</b> and my 
emphasis <i>italisized</i> and I won't have
it any other way!<br /><br />
If you don't like it you can stick it up your 
jolly <font color="green">green</font> jumper!
</div>

The use of hMeaningless in this examples allows software agents to bypass this content block thereby saving precious CPU cycles on what would otherwise be a fruitless search for meaning.
