Hi Yuliya,

I guess there are a number of ways we could use the Alignment object. At a high level, our badges are aligned with SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) so being able to indicate that would be useful. Frequently a badge will align with more than one SFIA skill set, so being able to have multiple alignments could be useful. However, how granular is it sensible to go. The actual skill alignments could be added to the description which would remove the need for multiple alignment objects - for very little loss of fidelity (imo).

One thing that would be good, is for the description box to have text formatting capability. I have experimented and the text box does accept and render html (bold, italic, lists etc) but this has to be 'coded' manually. I can't see anything in the Mozilla spec that limits the description contents to plain text. I'll upload one of my html coded descriptions to the backpack and see what happens.

Thanks,

Maurice
