I'm a rookie web developer and still quite new at trying to understand and use microformats on my own web site. I've been poking aroung the Microformats web site and wiki looking for a microformat for magazine articles posted online. I haven't been able to find anything. I'd like to ask if there has been any work or discussion on a microformat for this purpose. It may be that a magazine article is to general of a concept for a microformat, but some possible standard elements seemed to pop into my mind, like title, publication date, abstract, author, publication, and magazine issue.
Perhaps an XHTML compound would be more appropriate than a microformat? I bumped into the term XHTML compound on the process wiki page, but I'm not extremely clear on how it differs from a microformat. At any rate, I wanted to bounce this topic by the mailing list to see if I was missing any previous work done in this area. I'd like to know if this concept has been explored, discarded as a bad idea, or if there is current work being done that I might help with.
