Michael,
I don't use the micro formats myself, though I have been considering the
/programmes site in a new Google Gadget I've been trying to find time to
write. (I'm going to wait for the new iPlayer 2.0 RSS feeds instead).
I'd be interested in what accessibility concerns you had for the
microformats.
Thanks
Phil

Subject: [backstage] Removing microformats from bbc.co.uk/programmes
Not wanting to rain on anyone's post-Mashed sunshine suntan (or monitor
tan
at least) just wanted to let people know that we're removing the hCalendar
microformat from bbc.co.uk/programmes. This is currently used to markup
all
broadcasts on the site and I know that at least some of you were using it
to
help with screen scraping /programmes. Due to accessibility concerns we'll
be taking this feature out when we next deploy (probably Thursday).
