What’s the traction for something like this and “no-follow” to get integrated into the microformat platform?
Well, robots-nocontent is not part of the the robots-exclusion draft, which in itself has not been updated for over 18 months.
I contacted Priyank yesterday and he confirmed that Search have not implemented any of the robots-exclusion draft itself, nor have they implemented an opposite ‘robots-content’ class.
I will email him again to see if we can get a concise specification of the indexing behaviour for robots-nocontent page sections so that it can at least be documented. If Peter Janes is still active here or if anyone else has an interest in picking up the robots-exclusion spec then it will be up to them and their work within the process to determine if the implementation can be documented as part of it.
It seems like as good a time to ask; does anyone in the community still have an active interest in Robots-Exclusion? Are there any implementations?
(Since I know disclosure is appreciated: If it's not already clear from the communications documented in this message, I recently started working for Yahoo! Europe. With relevance to this issue though, I am not in any way involved in Yahoo! Search. In a more general sense, at this time, none of my contributions to this list are representative of Yahoo! and so on and so forth yada yada)
