Okay well, that's a relief.
It's amazing though, that we're talking about enabling designers to
design, but have only so far mentioned html, javascript and urls.
What about putting the design into the design code: css? Would it not
be a simple matter of adding selectors for the firefox mf ui elements?
example:
x-mozilla-add-hcard {
visibility:visible;
background:orange;
border: 1px solid black;
}
which would select whatever element is the button/link for adding an
hcard.

3. said radical change includes inline styles- functionally
identical to presentational html tags.
4. In order to play nice with firefox 3, all publishers of
microformatted content would need to add extra stuff to their markup.
5. That extra stuff would *only* be necessary for firefox
It's more of an addition than a radical change to the microformats
which enables the designer to add Firefox-actions right into their
own design although such actions will always also be available
through Firefox own UI and the suggested addition wouldn't change
how any existing microformats would work or should work. It would
be totally voluntarily. If it would be part of microformat standard
it would work in any tool which implements it.
Although I think the suggestion that was made at first wasn't that
good, the core problem it tries to solve is relevant: A need for a
standardized way for a webdesigner to add interaction between the
microformatted data and the parsers actions into their own designs.
Could the Microformat community come up witha standard way of
interacting with the parsers through JavaScripts or perhaps through
new URL:s like mailto: or feed: or in another way? Or is such a
standard perhaps out of this community's scope?
