Sure thing Mark,
Following the intelligent structure outlined here >
http://www.teltalk.org/t433-new-great-features-at-telnames#1878 one can easily determine that the key features that would be "technical" features that TelPages should employ as sight/sound/touch/time relevant to global acceptance are as follows:
Display:
1. Remove the rich features and display only the key content as is done when viewing .tel information on the simpliest of devices.
(This would be a standard result showing key text information only - such as title (name), domain (name), header information (statement), and a couple of key contact records such as phone and address - without any other free text or features until the telpage itself, much like: Name, Address, Telephone Number as a basic display, and then a "more..." to the telpage itself.)
2. Display these results in a structured format much like a business card, so that the display information is consistent and readable.
(The only additional consideration should be the logo inclusion.)
So far, you may recognize that this information is consistent with the information (generally) provided with the first .tel style introduced to all .tel registrants, with consideration for the logo as a very key piece of graphically necessary branding information, i.e. the first key addition and modification request to the original offering.
So, imagine the original introduction frontpage information, minus the free text, possibly with a logo included as the results display structure as a business card. (A benefit might be very small favicons to show what is on the telpage, video, facebook, etc.)
As an example, see the member directory of this forum, the display structure should not look very much different ultimately. and TelPages actually began much this way before being destroyed functionally.
This is then a globally accepted presentation as a business card "listing" with vital information accessible by all internet-enable devices.
We've stated it as a "business card", so show it as a basic business card first, then the telpage after and as the advancement to a basic one, and regardless of the template and subdomain choices.
This inherently includes what the .tel and telpages message is, by including the message in the TelPages to .tel functionality.
Search Order:
3. The search order would always be consistent as Kash and Henri stated prior to general availability, with Domain Name and Title the Key search pair priority, with the advanced search available for additional refinement versus scrolling, etc.
4. This serves all .tel registrants of every template style and provides for the simple viewing and response necessary as a first step for all .tel registrants and telpages users trying to locate them from a single, intelligent starting point.
All additional information is available thereafter, with content and/or subdomains as each Registrant chooses.
Under no circumstances should 3rd level+ (subdomains) be displayed until and unless all primary registrants are respected and displayed first.
This "technical" information should be a common sense understanding and commitment, as the world respects it and responds favorably to it every day as the directory structure of choice.
Telnic has made the statements as to these 2 prime directives, and so should have a TelPages results structure consistent with those 2 first.
You simply don't tell the world to get a .tel domain that acts as a business card online, discoverable in a global directory and have the garbage you have now. Blatent disrespect to lure registrants into a "global rolodex" an give them "trash in a landfill".
Anyone can see the "technical" features that might be respected if you give them the first reference there instead of the last.
