Just a heads up, there was a recent posting on Slashdot that mentioned
Microformats.

"The media never fails to point out how the age of Web Two-Point-Oh has
helped to drive the adoption of Ajax into the Internet industry, but
rarely does anyone point out that it has also help popularize
CSS-centric design practices -- the Slashdot redesign being only one
example. But now that we, as programmers, feel comfortable ditching the
use of font tags, finally grok div's, understand absolute vs relative
positioning, and can work around all of IE's CSS bugs, what is the next
step for HTML and CSS? Several standards or conventions seem to be
coming to forefront: one is building standards around the HTML
structure itself so that wildly different designs can be achieved via
style-sheets alone (e.g. CSS Zen Garden and The Style Contest), the
other being the standardization of CSS classes (e.g. micro-formats) so
that semantic meaning can be derived from the class name we use to label
our content. Both show an interesting potential for how this technology
is evolving. So here is the question for all the visionaries out there:
where is this taking us? What's next for HTML? What's next for CSS?"
