yes, it's a "thing", it's different. FF3 can't just add any address you see to your address book, its a specific kind of address that just looks the same, and you need a browser or plugin or something that understands that specific "thing"

So whats the thing called, micro-what? or "Resuable Data" (with the MF icon!)

We need a way to get across to people that content can be lifted out of pages and used in useful ways, when those pages support it. And people need to call it something. Maybe it should just be "Reusable Information".

"The new version of our browser will let you pull contacts and events out of web pages and into your address book and calendar."

What's wrong with that?

It doesn't tell people why it will work on some sites and not others; or that there's a way they can change the pages they publish to make the content available is such a way.

We *do* need some sort of label, to tell people that this is something new.
