Hi
As said before, microformats encourage the use of *visible data*,
not
invisible (meta)data, and thus microformats agrees with the
position that
you should NOT use CSS to hide microformatted content.
This is a concept I hadn't heard voiced before, and I guess I agree
in principle.
Yes, this is a *very* important aspect of microformats.
However, microformats could be powerful tool for marking up invisible
meta data.
The problem is that invisible metadata is nearly worthless.
It's not quite as simple as that, surely? Invisible metadata
shouldn't be worthless, although I do understand the arguments
against hiding it.

These XFN values are essentially invisible to humans when rendered by
a browser. Explain how this is different to hiding something with CSS.
Apologies if I'm going over old ground here.
See previous
writings on this re: meta keywords etc.
Very interesting, and I understand the parallels with meta keyword
values, etc. I *have* taken this on board, however my question above
still stands.
Cheers,
Andy.
