How does GRDDL (Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages) play into this?
XDMP (XHTML Meta Data Profiles) does seem a part of this... http://dannyayers.com/2005/08/01/microformats-on-the-grddl/ And I'd watch the Live Clipboard work to get a sense for how they intend to implement support for microformats (including which ones). Just like any other XML spec, certainly they're likely to pick and choose more stable formats, but at the same time, their underlying RSS architecture in Vista should be useful in leveraging microformatted content delivered in RSS.

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. -- [ Chris Casciano ] [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ http://placenamehere.com ] _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
