Hi Roger,
The point of XOXO is that you can trivially encode arrays and
dictionaries in straight HTML. In particular, you can use it as an
alternative to, e.g., JSON, for generic data structures:

Somebody's even written a whole blog about such uses:

Sure, the fact that something is a list may seem like a trivial
semantic to you, but it is quite powerful in the right context.
Hope this helps,

Hi Folks,
I have read the Wiki on XOXO and as I understand it, the XOXO
microformat has no properties, it is simply a classname to be used at
the top of a list, e.g.,
<ul class="XOXO">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
Question #1
Is that all there is to the XOXO microformat?
I am puzzled how the XOXO microformat helps enrich the semantics of
the
list. After all, the "ul" indicates it's a list. The XOXO doesn't
add
any new information.
Question #2
What is the value of XOXO?
