However, let me make one suggestions. Although I don't think it is a rule, people tend to choose lowercase names for class names. For example, people use "vcard" and not "vCard". So perhaps you may want to use "mariokartds-id" or "mario-kart-ds-id" or something like that (instead of "marioKartDS-ID"),
See ya
Hey,
I created a little description:
http://www.merkwelt.com/people/stan/marioKartDSMicroformat.html
So I guess I can write a little greasemonkey script that pop's up a message when it finds a marioKartDS-ID element, probably showing the hCard properties as well. Maybe linking to the player-stats if they are available from nintendo.
Does that make sense?

Well, an application or robot could scan the page for tags/elements
that have the class "marioKartDS". When it does, it then checks to
see if that element has a "title" attribute... if it does, it uses
that... if not, it uses the innerHTML. Make sense?! Here's some
_javascript_ pseudo code:
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("marioKartDS");
if ( elements && elements.length ) {
// We found some marioKartDS Microformats!
for (var i=elements.length-1 ; i>-1; i--) {
var code = elements[i].getAttribute("title");
if ( ! code ) {
code = elements[i].innerHTML;
}
// #### TODO #### Do something with the code you found.
(Let's play :-) )
}
}
Does that help?

There may not be one that exists yet. You could write your own (if
you are a software engineer). You could make a webcrawler. Or you
could make a user script (using greasemonkey). Etc.
Also, various people on this lists are probably working on stuff like
this. (So it may be just a matter of waiting a little while.)
