During development of my [StackUnderflow][1] script I spotted possible bug in SO markup. In my script I need to evaluate user reputation so I look for `user-details` `<div>` to get it. And this `<div>` **usually** looks like this:

    <div class="user-details">
        <a href="/users/......./foo">foo</a><br>
        <span class="reputation-score" title="reputation score 1234" dir="ltr">1,2k</span><span title="4 bronze badges"><span class="badge3"></span><span class="badgecount">4</span></span>
    </div>

in this case, user currently named `foo` holds reputation score of `1234`. If your script needs to figure out user reputation you should rely on the `title` attribute which is always in "raw" numeric form (i.e, `2000`), not the span text, which is formatted string (i.e. "2k"). So I try to reach this `title` thing and figured out that for some users it does not contain reputation score, however it looks like it should. In markup it looks like this:

    <div class="user-details">
        <a href="/users/4712527/siva">siva</a><br>
        <span class="reputation-score" title="reputation score " dir="ltr">5</span><span title="4 bronze badges"><span class="badge3"></span><span class="badgecount">4</span></span>
    </div>

note `title="reputation score "` - reputation "raw" score is completely missing, yet there's trailing space, so it looks reputation score should be there.

Another reputation related bug (again, I am talking about SO) lurks in part that holds my own reputation. The markup looks like this:

    <span class="reputation" title="your reputation: 32,479">
        32,479
    </span>

Please take a look at `title` attribute - it reads `32,479` instead of expected: `32479`. I also consider this a bug as content of `title` attribute should stay consistent.

If it is a feature, not a bug, I am open to hear why so :)

**EDIT**

On User profile reputation looks even worse - `title` attribute reads `reputation` not `reputation score`, there no raw score in `title`, score is formatted the same way "my reputation" on "top bar", so "k" but with coma. There's bunch of spaces around too.

    <div class="reputation" title="reputation">
        32,504 <span class="label-uppercase">reputation</span>
    </div>
