To be clear Mike, microformats were never envisioned to solve all format problems, or metaformat problems etc. That ocean boiling is better left to many others who are pursuing those goals. microformats have always been intended to simply solve common real-world problems in an 80/20 fashion. This limitation is quite deliberate, and is key to microformats being *actually* useful in the immediate/nearterm future, as opposed to *theoretically* useful in some ideal/imaginary world where boil the ocean (BTO) solutions have some how magically altered human culture and society as a whole to radically change behavior and adopt them wholesale. http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats Thanks, Tantek _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
