[uf-discuss] XOXO question

Wed Oct 26 10:58:37 PDT 2005

My understanding is that you can *use* whatever elements you want 
inside XOXO, but none of those elements would have *meaning* to 
XOXO. That is, XOXO parsers would simply skip over them.
That is the magic of microformats: do whatever you want, we'll 
ignore stuff we don't understand.
