Isn't that what an XMDP profile in <head> is supposed to be for? Or were you looking for something in the *HTTP* headers? Why? After all, it is just supposed to be HTML, no?

Are there any conventions for indicating whether content has a microformat in it based upon HTTP headers? While the link tag can be re-serialised as the Link HTTP header, that doesn't cover all microformats.

The use case is microformat sniffing/modification/dispatching/etc. by intermediaries; generally, they're really loathe to open up the body. A flag in the headers (media type? separate header? etc.) would get uF detection off of the critical path.

Yes, this makes things significantly more difficult for authors (at least until we fix the tools!), but it would be very helpful to be able to do it.

Otherwise, some best practice that made it possible to detect whether some content embedded a uF within the first n bytes (say, 50) would be very helpful.
