Is this actually the case? The wiki seems to be a little ambiguous on the topic, sometimes referring to “open microformat standards suitable for embedding in (X)HTML…” and sometimes referring to “a 1:1 representation […] in semantic XHTML”.

Granted, the behaviour can’t be guaranteed in the case of a non-compliant document, but are Microformats actually specified as working in valid, but non-XML-compliant, HTML markup? Surely the only requirement should be that the markup can be parsed unambiguously into a DOM tree?

(Hi everyone, by the way.)
