Surely that's an argument for new tags as well as contact:website, for<br>
example description:website where a user agent could give users a "Read<br>
more" link. A website tag is generic, which has the obvious benefit of<br>
used widely and easily, but more precise tags like contact:website give<br>
user agents much more flexibility.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>It was an argument against replacing website=* with contact:website=*</div><div>as some seemed to be proposing.
