[microformats-discuss] Announcing microformats discovery brainstorming

Wed Jul 13 18:01:38 PDT 2005

Dear all:
Josh Porter raised the great issue of how UAs and developers might 
discover microformats. This is key for hacking new applications 
based on microformats. Applications will ultimately lead to wider 
adoption. I tried to summarize the list's discussion on this wiki page:
http://microformats.org/wiki/xmdp-brainstorming
I cover several proposals plus raise the issue of parsing user data. 
Many of the prototype discovery mechanisms like Brian Suda's X2V 
depend on having a decent DOM tree. May not happen.
I would really like to get some participation in editing and 
authoring the page. The activity on the list suggests this is a hot 
topic.
