What will browsers do with that? The touted benefit of XOXO over a custom
XML format is that the semantic listing can be displayed in a human readable
manner, but serving it with some wild MIME type kills that benefit.
I suppose we could insert an XML style sheet thing, the same way we make
Atom/RSS feeds human readable in browsers ... but we could also do that with
any XML, so where's the benefit to using xhtml/XOXO?

I think I do understand the benefits of microformats (I even put code
into rfc2629.xslt so that it supports hcard), but it's entirely unclear
to me why to use those over here. If microformats would have an
advantage in *general*, we wouly only design microformats, not XML
vocabularies, right? So why then the Atom XML format in the first place?
