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

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 guess this would be a good time to bring up XMDP profiles again...
Though like with any client side microformat support it is a case of
what you're doing with the data when you say you "support it". If
support consists of detection + integration of a limited set of (say
Outlook/Exchange friendly) formats (hcal, hcard) then there is less
of a reason to care about new formats (just updates to existing ones)
vs. the case of trying to build live clipboard support for all data
types.
