Very nice. After Yahoo SearchMonkey has been around for a while, things are now also moving at Google. See: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippet s.html http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets .html And Ivan's

Hi Chris, It still seems a bit off for Google who normally implement clean interfaces. It is hard to accept their goals so far since they made up a new vocabulary for RDFa instead of matching the FOAF support that SearchMonkey gives, and the URI's they provide for don't contain valid top level
