Add pronouns to Known profiles

[benwerd]

Here's what I fixed or added:

I added pronoun support for Known. Right now it needs to be manually added by setting enable_pronouns=true in config.ini. Eventually, once we've arrived at a good way to display this, we should remove the config check and just make it live.

Here's why I did it:

Pronouns are not a given and part of owning your own identity is having the right to state yours clearly.

sorry to be a microformats prescriptivist, but I don't think p-pronoun is a recognized/documented property for h-card.

Tried this out on https://known.kylewm.com/profile/kyle, lgtm!

And the parsed version looks nice too: http://mf2.kylewm.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fknown.kylewm.com%2Fprofile%2Fkyle&parser=html5lib (with the exception of p-pronoun mentioned above)

I'm used to seeing nominative first ("he/him/his" rather than "him/he/his")

[mapkyca]

Yep.

Question, how will this connect with i18n?

[kylewm]

At HWC we discussed maybe using properties like p-x-pronoun-en-nominative (or p-x-en-pronoun-nominative?)

Another possibility is determining the language of the containing element or document (using the lang attribute), but then {nominative, oblique, possessive} are almost certainly not sufficient for many other languages

I know @voxpelli, @kevinmarks, and others have discussed how to mark up pages that have multiple languages within a single same page, but I'm not up to speed on those discussions.

This is the related parsing brainstorm around languages: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-parsing-brainstorming#Parse_language_information

As there is a proper lang="en" attribute in HTML that already conveys the needed information I feel that something like <span class="p-x-pronoun-nominative" lang="en"> would be a much nicer solution than to introduce some kind of language into the class itself.

This could perhaps be a good example to document at the above page so that we can push the brainstorm around how to solve that issue further towards a solution?

Thanks @voxpelli, I've added the brainstorming section you suggested: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-parsing-brainstorming#Pronouns_in_different_languages

I don't think we should block inclusion in Known on resolving those questions... The real-world publishing experience we get here will help inform the spec.

This has been open for a while now... votes to merge?

This'll have a visual change, so not just going ahead and doing it...

This doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so closing.
