there was a discussion awhile ago on the list serv about ALEXA doing
CSS searches[1]. It was after you downloaded and paided for the search
data. They were doing a quick string search for 'vcard' to quickly
reduce the sample set. Then they were attempting to parse out the
hCards.
Very interest idea!
And if someone like A9 wanted to differentiate themselves from the
pack, well.... And then if there was a way of adding to the query
"return only what has changed since a certain date".... And then if
the results were returned in hAtom....
Regards, etc....
