Check out the Firefox plugins "Operator" - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4106 and "Tails" - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2240 It looks like some native support for microformats may be coming soon to Firefox http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_microformats and also IE8, though they seem to be creating their own variation - "Webslices" which appears to be a wrapper around hAtom - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/webslices.mspx There are also some online services to do conversions (such as X2V - http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/ ) Check out the "implementations" pages on the microformats.org wiki for other implementations - eg: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-implementations ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
