There were many issues and problems with hyperlinks when they were
first used, and information about this is fully available in great

LazyWeb, Go! :) Thanks for the link.
If there is instead a visual cue of there being microformat content
on the page (an icon appears, or your hovered mouse shows you
something), then it becomes much easier to take action on potential
information of interest.
Isn't that what I was advocating? A hover effect for the mouse, like
Alex proposed (full disclosure, Alex is a co-worker of mine at Mozilla).
