tantek was wrong

Beardness
tantek was wrong by Neil Crosby.
So, some background. There are two versions of the story about how this t-shirt came into being. One of them is that Ben Ward said "tantek was wrong about the include pattern" to me and I thought that the phrase "tantek was wrong" would make a good phrase for a t-shirt. The other possible explanation is that tantek said "/me was wrong" on the microformats IRC channel on 7th December 2005. Pick whichever explanation you prefer.

The "Tantek face" is based on stickers that Matt Sephton gave out at a PubStandards a long time ago.

You can't tell because of the lighting, but Tantek's hair and t-shirt are a brown colour on a black t-shirt.

Also, this t-shirt is a loving gibe rather than a harsh poke. I loves me some Tantek really.

Not entirely accurate.

I think we were talking about the ABBR pattern, not the include-pattern, With ABBR, the back-story goes something along the lines of ‘most current uses of ABBR for expansions in microformats are in fact not conforming with the prose of the HTML4 spec’.

Ben, of course, is right - it was ABBR, not include.
