Probably none of us here is the right ones to decide something like
this...
Fair enough, several other people have made this point as well. We
are always open to feedback about microformat detection in Firefox 3,
so if anyone has any comments, please feel free to post them to this
list or email me directly.
FF3 perhaps shouldn't call it something
The menu which contacts, addresses and locations are listed under
will need some form of name. Also, journalists will probably want a
feature name in press briefings and when they make product comparison
tables, etc. We aren't likely to call it SuperHyperMetaMagic, but we
are going to need to call it something.
Everybody can choose their own name and it will - by the power of
web 2.0 which microformat is very much a part of - become a good
word in the end.
Mozilla's user experience team is going to continue brainstorming the
best way to expose microformat detection to end users, along with the
rest of the mozilla community. I'll post updates to this list from
time to time, and it will be interesting to see what interfaces and
names other people come up with as well.

Exactly! We need a brand and a website that introduces people to

I think better encouragement would come from putting energy into
creating tools, plug-ins, examples and tutorials for those people -
rather than trying to re-brand something that's already something
else
re-branded.
I couldn't agree more. I think this discussion is rather
unproductive for this community. Just build the tools, design them
well and get people to use them. If you never use the word
'microformat' in your application, that's fine. No harm, no foul,
no need to build a new brand.
To use a cool name for this - do it web 2.0 - we as a relatively
small group of which I'm relatively new can't decide what people
will call this and FF3 perhaps shouldn't call it something.
