However, I can very much see how that could be misinterpreted so I have edited the affiliation text of the specifications of which I am an author/editor/contributor to be in the style used by W3C specifications: Author (Affiliation[s]), ... > (Interestingly, Tantek says he's released the Geo and Adr specs into the > public domain, but Technorati are credited as either co-author or his > employer (the designation is not clear) - have they relinquished their > rights?) I have clarified the affiliation per the above stylistic edit, and yes, all the work I have done on microformats when employed by Technorati was done very much in and for the community and I have taken the extra step of releasing my work into the public domain to be even more explicit. I continue to encourage all microformats community members to release their contributions to the Public Domain. Doing so without waiting for any other particular conditions demonstrates a strong commitment to contributing to the public good and sets a good example for others as well.
