I've got a question about this. To say IE8 will support Microsformats

They get left out of the party ;) This is probably what will happen.
Or, perhaps even more realistically, they'll just support hCard and
hCalendar.
Or, is this saying that IE8 will have a capability to process
Microformats
abstractly so that new ones can be added after IE8 has shipped? And
if that
is possible, wouldn't it make sense for us as a group to go ahead and
specify a standard way to define that abstraction?
I'd be surprised to see something like that come out of MS. And I'm
not sure we want to define a "meta microformat" that all formats need
to follow. That sounds awfully limiting and very tricky to write.

P.S. If this makes no sense it's because I haven't had enough sleep
lately... :)
We've all been there ;)
