I'm sold on microformats for some cases, I think XFN is a decent example for reasons I explained earlier. --->N > > -- > Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. > http://uche.ogbuji.net http://fourthought.com > http://copia.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org > Articles: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/publications/ > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an > initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> > > The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ > > To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription > manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php> >
