marking up a rel-enclosure length

Hello all,

I have been wandering is there any way to mark up the file
"length" or
size of a  rel="enclosure"[1], If not, Is there a
best practice? or has
anyone any thoughts on how to do this?

roformats.org/wiki/rel-enclosure

Many thanks in advance

I think some work was done a while back here [1] but it
didn't really
go anywhere. Obliquely, [2] may also by of interest.

Regards, etc...

Yes I looked into Media RSS some time ago, relevant to the
discussion on
file format's or hFileFormat [1]

p://microformats.org/wiki/file-format-examples

what I am thinking is maybe something much more simple like


<span class="size"
title="3792105">3.6M</span>

Hmm.. looks like this discussion needs to be re-raised on
Microformats
New.

Thanks anyway.
