Hi,
 
I am quite new to this list, so please excuse me if I am talking nonsense or if this has been discussed [I have trawled the archives, although only briefly].
 
Has a microformat been proposed around "Questions and Answers".
 
I think it would be good to mark a question and the corresponding answer in
 
<span class=qa><span class=question>Where does paul kinlan live?</span><span class=answer>liverpool</span></span>
 
It could help solve some semantic meaning to what part of text is a question and what is the anwser.
 
For instance I get a lot of searches coming to my site with queries such as "How do I...", "What does...".  I could set up a "search engine" that parses pages with this micro format in and indexes question and answer pairs rather than whole text pages.
 
Is this a good idea?  Is it worth progressing?  Has it already been discussed?
