Strange that none of them joined the list and posted about this already. Perhaps they have their own internal standardisation procedures and got caught up in that. Taking a look at what the new microformat is supposed to do, it seems like their needs can very easily be accommodated using the existing microformats or a combination of them (rel-license, rel-tag, adr, geo, hAtom, hMedia, etc). If they need to create a new one, it should be reasonably easy.

I took a quick look around their site and the people seem to be reasonably clued up. They have some code [1] online which seems to make use of html5lib. Perhaps somebody should contact them and ask them kindly to bring their work across in order to avoid duplication of efforts? They could make some valuable contributions.

Re: [uf-discuss] What does the 'h' in microformats mean?
Thanks all for your response to this question some of it was quite surprising particularly Tobys, H is for Horatio from CSI , I have never heard of that great stuff. A quick recap h in microformats means: 1 the HTML version of or just HTML 2 The Greek letter micro μ (Mu) inverted 3 In hAtom, it the Irish pronunciation of h next to a vowel which is softly spoken with a strong spoken A as in hay (is this correct David?) 4 The H from Horatio Cain Thanks again Martin ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
