Hi Dan and welcome. I've been following Videntity for some time and appreciate your support of microformats -- and would appreciate it if you would document your thinking and experience with regards to XFN + hcard. I personally think that OpenID + XFN + hcard has enormous potential for opening decentralized socialization, but I won't get into that now.
I do want to support your call for the creation of microformat parsing libraries -- as there are many efforts underway, but could certainly stand to be brought together under a single resource heading. Indeed, the OpenID community has advanced considerably owing to the multiple platform- and language libraries available that make adding support nearly trivial. To do the same thing for microformats would, in my estimation, have the same stimulating effect. I don't know that I can do much in terms of coding, but I would love to see someone take up a sustained charge to see this effort through -- and to push microformat consumption and publishing across all the major platforms and languages now commonly in use.

Hi Dan, See hKit: http://allinthehead.com/hkit See also the -dev list, where most of the parsing discussion takes place: http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-dev/ Peace, Scott _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
